Number of Userpics

Title
Number of Userpics

Short, concise description of the idea
I feel that the number of userpics a person has should not be limited as they are with those of us who have basic and plus accounts.

Full description of the ideaI have many userpics that I would like to add to my account, but I only have a limit of 15. There should be an unlimited amount

I'm sorry to be negative, but as others have said, if they are that important to you, get a paid account.

That was my main reason for firstly getting a paid account and secondly a permanent account - and yes, I'd pay for more if it was possible.

So... you like userpics so much that you want to have an unlimited number of them, but only just so much that paying for them would be a waste of money? I can't help but feel this is a bit illogical.

As explained above, this could cause huge issues for the site's reliability as a whole. I don't think LJ should endanger the service by giving a non-essential, resource-draining feature out for free if people can already use all of the site's core functions without paying anything, ETA: Additionally: Paid/Permanent users (along with advertisers, of course) pay for the site's maintenance right now. Your suggestion would remove a major incentive for getting a Paid/Perm account, but at the same time create even more costs that would somehow have to be paid for.

THIS CALLS FOR SPONSORED USERPICS

Once upon a time, there were a lot of people on LJ who wanted more features that they didn't feel were valuable enough for them to pay for, but still felt they were worthwhile enough to waste other people's money to pay for them. Perhaps this was the case when they were a child and their parents just bought them a pony instead of saying "uh, no you cannot has."

So, LJ put ads on things, so those people could have extra things free to them, like moar icons and Scrapbook space and custom style pages and polls, and the advertisers would pay for it! What a jubilant day! Of course, then all of the people who were perfectly happy with their simple basic journals had to see those ads, too. BUT HEY, YOU CAN'T MAKE A WEB 2.0 OMELET WITHOUT MONETIZING THOSE PAGEVIEWS.

You want more icons, but don't want to pay! I bet lots of people feel the same way you do. Since we solved that situation LAST time by slapping ads up on pages everywhere, I say we cruise into the NEXT MONETIZATION PHASE where we put ads on userpics. Some may think it's

Good one.

Thank you!

No. It sounds just like "I want a faster Internet but I'm not willing to pay for it!", "I want a bigger house but I refuse to pay more rent for it!" or, well, "I want bigger [insert something here] but I shouldn't have to pay for it!"

LiveJournal is a business. This would not make sense, businesswise, and would be detrimental to the company -> detrimental to the service.

In short, you don't get free stuff just because you want it.

In addition to unlimited userpics, would LJ please add all the other features I'm paying for to the free accounts? Then I can quit paying, and use that money to save up for something more valuable.

Thank you.
