so the newest decree from on LJhigh has panties inna twist all over da webz because how dare LJ's new pwners make decisions and stuff...

I am NOT saying I like the changes.

I am not saying I would still plan to buy a permanent account, though I will mention here that I had planned to until the last round of LJpwner stoopid which changed my mind ( Read more... )

Ok, this is the second reference to the strike I've read in someone's LJ. Apparently I don't read whatever it is that lets people know of such things as the strike. From what I can gather, we're all supposed to not post on Friday, right? Why, exactly? Do you know? What specific change/changes prompted this attitude, do you know ( ... )

Jumping in here, I'm supporting the strike. It's not just about doing away with the Basic Accounts, which IS a business decision. It's that they didn't announce it, ignored the advice of the Advisory Board-the people who were supposed to prevent these things from happening again-and when called on it, claimed they did away with the Basic Accounts to make it easier for new registrations ( ... )

Hmmmm..... removing Interest searches? That seems kind of... stupid. I will look into this more. Friday is my day off, so honestly, I doubt I would be posting anyway, but I'm still interested in what's going on.

They did. Then they put them back.

If I jump on board with this, may I snag your icon?

zortrana March 19 2008, 19:01:48 UTC

Sure, snag the icon. It is one of several that were made for the strike, by someone(s)

I appreciate your passion, even support your ideals, and am glad you have a place in which to express it.

I am simply saying that in my own journal, nobody can make the Russians listen.

getting rid of basic accounts has pissed a few folks off

georgiamagnolia March 19 2008, 14:46:58 UTC

yeah, and your friends can't get free accounts while you convince them to get a paid one, you know, stuff like that

I am a paid member so this doesn't affect me, unless I wanted to play in a RPG on LJ or something

Are the ads -really- that bothersome? I'll have to go spend some time on one of my secondary accounts, because honestly I don't even recall seeing them, but I'm fairly sure it's a Plus account, not Basic. I like features. :)

georgiamagnolia March 19 2008, 14:58:20 UTC

I have no idea. I think the point is that LJ started way long ago with NO ADS EVAR and then that got changed and then it got changed some more and sold twice and stuff ...

And it isn't the homegrown little guy it used to be. LJ grew from the edgy kid we loved into corporateUSANeoRussian we love to bitch about. whatever.

I like my LJ, as long as 6A/SUP/Whoever Comes Along Next leaves me the hell alone, I am happy.

((And then they will come for fatchicks with big mouths and I will get struckthrough, whatever))
