The beginning of the exodus

[wiseheart]

I've created a DW community for all my writings posted to LJ. It's called soledads_library. I've already imported all entries from hiddenrealms and will continue with the import ofotherworlds_lib and edhellondawards as well, as soon as the supposedly imported comments actually show up on the site. That may take a while.

I intend to remain on LJ as long as it's possible, because, well, over nine years are a long time and I tend to be faithful. But their major fails may drive me away completely one day, and in that case, I want my comms to be available and the comments I got saved somewhere else.

The only thing I won't be able to save over are my userpics, but, well, nothing is perfect.

PS: And now LJ is bothering me about my password, too - they find it too easy to guess. I don't want to change it, dammit! It's served me well enough all these yeards!

Comments

After wading through all the comments on the latest latest on lj_releases, I'm pretty sure that while they do not plan to get rid of icons quite yet, that is what we're headed for. :(

I'm also quite certain they are planning to expand their new design for the friends list to the whole journal eventually. *headdesk*

[Disclaimer]: Of course this is all just if you're interested in buying dreamwidth points in the first place, but here you go:

I've been lucky enough to have a trusted friend who I send the money to (through paypal *lol*), and she then pays for my paid journal via credit card. That worked like a charm for the last four years! ;)

I' m sure she wouldn't mind helping you out as well! Or you could PayPal the money to me, and I'll send it to her.

There's also a dw community: paidaccountfairy

I don't know if you have a PayPal account yet, but it's easy (and free!) to sign up. They'll ask you for your bank account details, but you'll have the option to deny them access ( aka, PayPal can NOT draw upon your bank account - I use that!), and all you have to do to verify your account is transfer the equivalent amount of ~0,11 cents € to your PayPal account. After that you can transfer any amount for free *and* transfer it for free to other PayPal users!

...or if you don't trust online payment, mail it to me and I'll paypal it to her. Provided you trust your postal service, and me, that is! *g*

(Here's how much a paid dw account costs:
12 months for 350 points ($35.00 USD~ 7,622.19 HUF or 27,06 € ) = 100 icons
6 months for 175 points ($17.50 USD ~ 3,919.89 HUF or 14 € )) = 100 icons
There's also Premium accounts:
12 months : $ 50 USD ~ 10,887.94 HUF or 38.6501 € = 250 icons
and 6 months: $25 USD ~ 5,444.62 HUF or 19.3296 €= 250 icons )

I actually meant that I'd regret to go back to 15 icons instead of the 30+ I'm having now, but thank you for the data and the suggestions anyway. Sooner or later I'll have to consider it - latest when they start changing the entire layout.
