I am addicted to candied almonds

Merry Christmas! As a belated Christmas present, I'll gift a 2-month paid account to anyone who a) asks for one (by commenting on this post) and b) is currently on my flist. :D I'm not sure if people are interested in paid accounts right now, especially since there seems to be another one of those Dreamwidth-migrations going on, so... I figured it would be best to let people ask for them, I guess!Though I get the feeling I won't get any comments haha but I always get that feeling
As for the new commenting system... I still maintain that I like some of the added features, but I don't understand why they had to take away subject lines and the like. I can definitely see how that would ruin RP communities and journals like fandom!secrets! And now that I've read up a bit on the issue, these comments are very alarming, because if that's how the LJ staff members treat the userbase, then that's honestly not acceptable at all. :/ That guy has the attitude of a forum troll and it's pretty depressing to see.
(Hmm. I'm wondering if I should give DW a try.)
Um, and just in case anyone was interested in the Tellius FE MBTI-list thingy at all, I also made a tumblr post about it. Hopefully it's not as confusing to read as my last LJ entry was. Also, it has a pretty picture!

Date: 2011-12-27 04:47 am (UTC)also, I'd be interested in the paid account if LJ was stable right now; I probably wouldn't be able to tell what the benefits were, and my main reason for getting the account would be the themes + ability to edit (though it seems as if I have that ability now?) since I don't know of anything else, so. (also there are probably people that use lj more than me anyway, and thus would appreciate the paid account more. :'D )
re: the comment pages -- in addition to the supposed lack of an opt-out option + slow loading times, it seems less organized and the hovering-over-comments features thing makes it more "flashy" which, well. dizziness/headache. ;v; like I said. (but...whoa. I underestimated the bad attitude. also, sure, give DW a try. :'D people seem to be migrating there anyway. ... though iirc you need invite codes to join? also based on one of the twitter things in that post, I feel like DW might encounter some tumblr-esque server problems. idk.)
.../casually scoots back to own journal because anxiety and this comment is probably stupid OTL
