LJ announces that free users are now getting subdomains, and paid users get addons to voicepost and S2 design features.

Unsurprisingly, wank happens.

Currently 12 pages and counting.

People are whining that they're not special unique paid account snowflakes over a security change?

I just hate the hyphen in my new URL, and think that those of us with underscores in the middle of our names should get rename tokens, too. I figure that if they're going to add anything else for paid users, I'm probably not going to use it, regardless (I just like my moodtheme and userpics, and the occasional poll).

I have no problem with them doing it if it involves security. If they had ignored the problem then everyone would be bitching about how they didn't go out of their way to protect us, at least they nipped it in the bud early. :\

What's the big deal about voice posts? Are people unable to access their LJs except through voice posts? Will they make 20 less entries per month because of their inability to access that feature?

As well, they're just throwing that in as a bonus. They *had* to make a security change, but they didn't *have* to give paid users anything.

It just seems all very entitlement complex to me: WAH WAH WAH I CAN'T USE THIS NEW FEATURE YOU ARE EXCLUDING AND DISCRIMINATING AGAINST ME! FIX IT FOR ME RIGHT NOW OR GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE! GIVE ME A PONY, LJ! I WANT A PONY!

I hope the person who commented that "the short URL is one of the main reasons for keeping my paid account" actually meant "the more secure URL". Because we all know that typing http://www is a tedious imposition.

Considering a friend of mine (RL and LJ) just had her journal hacked...thank you LJ. I'm all for increased security.

And what was the big deal about subdomains anyway? Honestly? I used to have a paid account, but that was pretty much for the icons and customization options.

Well.

...I suppose this would bother me more if I could actually arse myself to login to LJ these days, though the fix is certainly appreciable. The level of indignation displayed by some of the paid users is amusing.

I really like kingfox's outrage that people actually don't pay to use free LJ services. So cute.
And of course, elusis and others can't be arsed to make a few extra keystrokes to view their friends' LJ pages.

I think user poonarific deserves internet cookies for this little nugget of humour.


Tee-hee LJ.

Oy vey... I have a paid account only because- one, I like the extra icons and two, I like tooling around with my LJ layout. I couldn't give a crap less about phone posts, picture hosting, or than pointless 'nudge' feature. My question is when LJ going to get off their thumbs and create a system where you have to approve someone before they can list you as a 'friend'? If something as simple as facebook and myspace can do it, why can't LJ?

On that thought, I shall get off my soapbox.

The only thing that is going to annoy me about this is that I credit icons in keywords instead of comments, so all the icons I nabbed from someone calling hirself "____supacool____", I'm going to have to retag. Or fuck it, don't rename tokens redirect? Maybe I won't bother.

And I see [info]elusis's point about the typing in of URLs, but - dude, LJ is blocking a security breach here. Suck it up.

And of course the irritation of possibly retagging icons and of changing how I browse is vastly paid off by the mountains of splooge just waiting to happen once all those _______x____emo____x kids find out about this. Popcorn, anyone?

I suppose I'm just far too apathetic to truly understand, but for me it boils down to a simple test:

- Do I have to pay to get the LJ features I want?

If yes, and I can afford to pay, I pay. If no, then I don't. I didn't sign up to get voice posting, nor did I sign up for a subdomain. I don't care about more of one nor do I care if everyone gets the other.

A major security flaw is fixed. Sounds like enough of a bonus for everyone.

Thank you guys for all your hard work!

There's more ass kissing and virtual cocksucking going on in that thread than in any slash archive I've ever seen. It's a business, people. Brad's never gonna call you up and ask if you wanna hang out. He won't be there to cry with when your boy/girlfriend dumps you. He won't hold your hair back when you throw up all that tequila, either. Deal with it.

LJ's a privilege, not a right. LJ does not owe you anything. You're just coming across as an annoying, insipid, (not to mention terribly ungrateful) and sanctimonious butthole. Shut up.

I don't really care that the free users are getting the shorter URLs too. But plz to not be acting like giving us more phone posts is a great thing when most of us would have to call long-distance just to use the feature. Work on getting more phone numbers, LJ, and we'll see.

"How dare those peasants get domain names like us aristocrats with paid accounts!!"

Can we say very sad and pathetic? It's just a fucking domain name, nothing special in the least(to me)...


And about add-ons that payers will care about, how about talking with Brad about it and see what he can do, like as if with any business, I dunno. *shrugs*

Is anyone else having trouble with LJ today? It's crash-happy for me. I wonder if that's because of the mega changes they're trying to rush through.
