Really? Down for the better part of half a day, shoddy connectivity on the best of days for the past few weeks, and paid users are refunded in... puppy pixels? Not too late, LJ, but far too little.
How about instead of cuddly puppies, you post some real information about the 4 week server problem which has never been acknowledged except in a place most people don't read on a regular basis?
This post is as close as they've gotten to addressing the issue. And in this comment the author acknowledges they should have notified people earlier.
Why LJ News and Paid Owners hasn't provide this information is a mystery.
Bonus points: LJ provdes a separate status site one can check when LJ doesn't seem to be working. Until this week, the message was a cutesy joke about unicorns nibbling on the wires. That was their official message to people who were experiencing random outages for almost a month.
I'm going to see this as a separate thing going on rather than as compensation for the site performance here, since the post didn't say anything about it being a compensation. =P
Thanks for the v-gifts! I would've liked kitties so much better though. =p
Oh, also, I do not have a paid account and was still able to send off 6 puppies for free. I'd try more to see how far I could push it, but v-gifts are a waste when the site is never running.
