What's the difference between a donation and subscription?

Donations and subscriptions are functionally identical at the moment and carry with them the same member perks; the only difference between the two being the means by which they are initiated and the duration for which they last.

 

Donations are initiated through the forum index, via the donation tracker. Every one dollar donated through the donation tracker will grant you donor perks for three days, after which you will be placed back into the standard users group. Donations are not recurring, and will expire automatically at the end of the donation period.

 

Subscriptions, on the other hand, are initiated through the MLP Forums store and recur automatically every month until cancelled. Subscriptions come in several price tiers ($10 - $50) that all carry the same perks, which can be upgraded, downgraded, or cancelled completely at any time. They are a means to make a donation on a recurring monthly basis, which is most helpful to us as the majority of our expenses are recurring in nature themselves.

My main question is: once the donor/subscriber period expires, if you have a larger than normal sig and/or avatar, are they deleted automatically? Or will they remain until you're asked to change them?

They remain and no one asks you to change them. You just can't use them once you alter your signature again without a new Subscription.

So one quick question, I see donating increases the possible avatar Length, but does it allow any increase in file size? (Mostly asking for animated gifs.)

Unfortunately, gif size is set by the software MLP Forums uses and can't be increased. D=

if you do a subscription but only want to do it for one month when should you cancel it and will you receive all the perks for the rest of the month or will they be lost as soon as you cancel?

At that point, you're better off just doing a Donation for $10. It's effectively the same thing, and the effects will last 30 days.
