The current LJ happenings and the choices that stand before us

Obviously most of you are (well) aware of the situation, but we'll go over the facts just to make sure everyone is on the same page.

( Here we go... )

I'm cool with whatever the majority wants. /o/
So, basically... YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS! HAHAHA! TAKE THAT!

Stop. Hayley time ( ... )

And then I look at the numbers I'd be spending each time again and... I'm back on the fence.

Even if I trim my paids down to just Vyers and Mao on DW... I'd probably still be paying $70 a year versus... nothing. $105 if I did only 3. And then if I drop a character... It doesn't feel like much, but now that I'm paying rent... Hn. This really is a tough decision.

If we do move to DW, I will totally buy a paid account for the first year, at least for Mao.

.......lol, we used a subject header. I am helpful and observant

Hey, even though I'm technically a new guy, I can see why livejournal is causing so much anguish. So I understand if Paixao makes the decision to move. Thusly, I'll gladly follow Paixao wherever it goes: IJ or DW.

As much as I know my wallet is gonna hate me, I think Dreamwidth is the better choice. Though I really love IJ and it's cheapness, the way I see it now its real specialty is museboxes and DRs where you're only there to just goof off so you don't need a lot of things. However games themselves tend to have more structured so you do need to be more cautious about how clean and professional it looks. Which I think DW handles a lot better ( ... )

See... I always buy from LJ for only 2 months at a time so... I've never been able to take advantage of the cheaper for automatic payments paid for a year cause I can't get a credit card. It's all money transfers through paypal.

The paids are okay, but it's the lack of anything lighter. Many of my accounts on here have just the icon packs cause they are amazing. But I can't do paids for them, but 15 icons really won't be enough... so... yeah IDK what I'd do. DX

divine_storm December 23 2011, 02:28:37 UTC

Could you find someone reliable to pay for your paid account, then transfer money to that person by PayPal?

Yeah, it's a bother, but it's an alternative.

Sob, trying to help...

overlords_wrath December 23 2011, 03:02:18 UTC

Yeah, I'm sure I can. XD It's not a big a issue as the lack of the $6 for a year deal of 30 icons deal.

The power of light compels you! God it was morning and I had insomnia. You can't expect a lot of me then x.x

Also torn. Love 100 icons, and I've been alright with IJ since I've been using my own musebox there for quite awhile. But DW is certainly appealing, and they had not only a larger staff (versus IJ), but a nicer, open-minded one (versus LJ). But, it's been a long drive for me today, so I think I will sleep on it a bit more.
