Why jot down January 7th?

[JillyBean]

My inactive character subscriptions are set to end on that date, and they've been set to end on that date since last save, so they've apparently had this date in the works for quite some time.

Edit: actually it's the 5th but close enough.

My inactive slots say January 5. My main not-to-delete says March 31.

I'm not sure what these deletion dates would have to do with this announcement though.
