LJ giveth, and LJ taketh away

Apr 14, 2024 18:14

One of the things I do when I come here, at least a few times a week if not daily, is run through several spots before posting:
--Recent comments
--Friends' page
--My user info/profile page
It's just habit at this point. Aside from Adam commenting on a couple of the recent posts, I haven't had a comment in a while, same with anything showing up on my f-page. With my profile, I'm mainly going out of habit to make sure my list of posts and memories matches, and I scroll down on the extremely off-chance that someone new has added me.

Occasionally, I'll see that LJ has given me a gift, and there's currently a pop-up stating that LJ turns 25 tomorrow. Happy birthday! How exciting. I saw somewhere that if you hit certain criteria, you will win something, which I'm guessing is a V-Gift, a little icon that gets added to your profile page. I had one for LJ turning 18, then 20, then 21, likely because I'm an active poster.

Except today, when I went to my profile page, I was down to one V-Gift, the most recent one for LJ turning 21. What gives? I've opened a support ticket to ask because that's weird. They've never disappeared in the past. Once they're there, they've stuck around. I was actually a little miffed in a way when the first one showed up, since I never really wanted one, but I got used to them being there, and it was sort of nice to get them occasionally. So, yeah, I liked having them around and it would be nice to see them again, especially since I may well get another one. I'd like the whole collection, the menagerie I had, if you will.
