So, you’re a paid member of LiveJournal, but you don’t read ? Then you might not have heard about the free two weeks they’re offering to tack on to the subscriptions of all paid members because of the recent server problems and DDOS attacks. Read all the dirt here. It’s pretty cool – follow the link they provide, click a button, and *bang* two free weeks.
Unfortunately, since I’m a permanent member they won’t extend my “forever” membership by two weeks. They said something about not having the space-time continuum completely bug-free yet….
Hmmph. Show-off.
(Cute new icon, though!)
Cool. That was really easy.
Shouldn’t it have been *BAM!* not *bang*…or am I getting you confused with someone else? 🙂
Gotta admit…it’s a great thing for their PR esepecially for something (the DOS attack) they couldn’t really control.
Thanks much! – that was 2 free months for me. Yay!
I’m in feren’s position: it’s hard for LJ to figure out how to reward permanent accounts. I had a metric ton of syndication feed points, which I never came close to exceeding, then they dropped the whole point system. I get a ridiculous # of userpics, but I only have 5, only ever actually used two when posting, and that second one probably less than 1% of the time. It’s not a big deal to me, honestly. Amusing though.
Thanks!
