Tetsuya, The page you refer to states:
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Sponsors" Note the tense here, it refers to *current* sponsors. I appreciate that this may not be completely clear to those who do not speak English as a first language. Indeed, due to the vagueness of the English langiage it is possible to interpret that statement to refer to all sponsors, past and present. However, please be reassured that all sponsors that do not renew are removed from the thanks page as it refers to current sponsors. It may be argued that there should be a historical thanks page, I will make no comment on the community list about this, it is a matter for the PRC.
