Achievements!

Oct 11, 2024 12:46

Y'all know I'm more of a reader than a poster here, so imagine my surprise to receive multiple "achievement" notifications from LJ - including from a Dark Shadows role-playing account from more than a few years ago. Just got one from this account. On the former, I thought I must have gotten hacked and changed the password, but now I suspect it ( Read more... )

My guess is that they're trying to drum up business. I get the anniversary achievements for my accounts annually - and I have many accounts - but the two I had yesterday (Discussion Master and Dialogue Pro) were ones I hadn't seen before. Both were for this account which is the only one I still use. A friend had the same. Since I seldom comment here and never post I'm not sure what discussions I'm mastering.

Yes, I've gotten the anniversary achievements as well, but these were new including first post and making a comment. So we are still all in this together. And good to know you are still here, even though quiet.

I've never understood people who leave and don't look back. I can understand not posting but I don't understand why they wouldn't want to keep up with the posts of friends they'd interacted with for decades. I post on DW now and then but it's as dead as this site, at least for me. I'm not happy about that but it is what it is.

I agree, and do wonder about those who have disappeared. LJ is history and part of my early days online.

Several of my friends have died, some have gone to other sites. Most of the ones who migrated to DW aren't active there or they're rarely active. There's no good substitute for LJ.

Same for me. A few of mine are on Facebook, which is good for the connection and updates, though nothing like LJ.

Now got this!

There must be a way to turn that off. It constitutes pestering. XD
