Renewal ponderings.

[tahirire]

OH HI lj. My paid account renewal date is coming up quick, and I just don't know. Firstly, this is the first time I've been able to get this stupid site to LET ME POST in the last week as it is always all freezy. Second ... is anyone really still on here anymore? If I let my paid account lapse, what do I lose? Like, will all my filters stay in

I'm here! I will always be here! I have severe reservations about this non-conversational Tumblr business, and tbh lack the mental capacity to be able to handle it anyway. XDD I think if you lapse your paid account the only things you use are your LJ Notes (which no one uses anyway), your icon # goes down to 15 unless you pay for more icons separately, and you get ads.

It's nice to see youuuuuu, also. I miss you! How's life going? Crazy busy as usual?

[tahirire]

Ew, ads, gross

[kalliel]

I'm glad you'll have a little bit more breathing room next term! Though haha, yeah, somehow that tends to evaporate into working on extra-curricular but VERY JOB-RELATED work anyway. A costume-oriented portfolio sounds crazy awesome; that's fantastic. *________

EEE, My cousin (from Kentucky lol) is in Japan right now teaching English, I HATE HIM SO MUUUUCH. *cries of jealous* I am eyeing an internship in Seattle because I *really* don't want to have to intern in LA without having ever even visited there, and I can't afford to just go 'check it out'. *Eyeroll*

Not gonna lie, I bought most of the FMA manga. I still need the second half. We just finished the original series and the movie yesterday, and it made me want to watch Brotherhood ALL over again, lol. I had SO much fun being Hawkeye at Dragon con this year. *sigh* FMA has been making me very, very happy. <3

I'm still here! But yeah, lots of people seem to have shifted to tumblr - and while it is full of pretty pictures, I still prefer the conversations on LJ ; )

[tahirire]

I know, like, I see you over there but I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY HI TO YOU! x|

[monicawoe]

Yeah I'm such a n00b over there still too. I was SO proud of myself when I figured out how to use a picture as a link ::sigh::
vut you know what it really doesn't seem to work for at all? fic.

[tahirire]

Totally. I use ao3 for ... the non-existent fic I haven't been writing, lol.

[tahirire]

I've been on it a while but it is still confuuuuusing.

EEEEE YOUR ICON. *cannot wait*

[snickfic]

In addition to the decreased number of icons, the lack of LJ notes, and the ads, you also lose the LJ stats feature (and Google Analytics, if you use those), the ability to track individual threads, and the ability to edit comments. Also, the "view in my style option" disappears from the tops of pages (although you can still add the appropriate code to the address of the page to view in your style).

Nice to see you again!

[tahirire]

Well poop. I don't care about any of those things except ads and editing comments, but I think I'd die if I got stuck with permanent typos, LOL.

You too! :D

I'm here, not that I ever do much. I don't have tumblr so this is my fannish contact point. I can't help you on the paid account question. I got grandfathered in with a free account, so I don't get ads or anything. I do hope you stick around in some form or another.

[tahirire]

Yeah, I am always *around*, just not sure if I want to keep coughing up cash. O.o I hate ads though, so hmmm. Idk Idk.
