Why is everybody referring to what Brad has to say on the situation? Brad's no more than a puppet emperor these days, kept only to make the LJ users feel assured, and I bet he knew it the moment he sold LJ to 6A, and now that he is an *advisory* member. I remember former LJ employees talking about how Brad ignored advice when selling, and attended to posh parties and bought a new house right away with the money. What he says isn't even worth reading anymore, and it isn't made any better by the fact that he says "I've tried but I have no power now" - well he should've thought of it before signing LJ over, hmm? To me, it'd be better if he said "don't ask me, LJ isn't mine now I'm not responsible" rather than say what he's saying now, "I tried" and all, sounding all victim-ish.

I'm glad that I have a permanent account, since the next thing they do will be up the paid users account subscription fee, and either not sell permanent accounts anymore or make them $500 each. At the same time, I'm not glad I've ever paid them any money.

This is not the sort of thing I wanted to debut this icon in. Oh well.

Ah, at least old Basic accounts, even if they were changed to Plus, can be reverted to Basic. Hmmm. I do have quite a few of those accounts standing around. Can even sacrifice one and use a rename token, and then convert it to a community. Damn, should've signed up for a few spare comm accounts when I was talking about it with Leah the other day.

Late start today. I was gonna make breakfast after this post, but Liz is doing it now. \o/ So I'll do more of that doujinshi thing instead.

Maybe because we feel it's funny how it contributes to prove that this much touted Advisory Board really IS nothing but a pretty word? Suspicions confirmed, and all that. *shrug*

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I twitched the moment they called it Advisory, and never contributed to any of their "comment here to our plans!!!111" posts. Sigh.

The thing in his post that really made me snort was "apparently" -- that "apparently" such a decision had been made. I mean, if an Advisory Board member isn't informed better and earlier, what can we users expect? NOTHING.

'Tis sad, nonetheless, to see a nice community going down the drain like this.

It's not like you get nothing in return.

But.. but... but.. they only did it to make things easier for new users. *blinks* Now we don't have to worry our little heads with trying to figure out three different account types.

I don't understand why people keep running to Brad. It's been ages since he had any kind of power over these decisions. Advisory. Yeah right.

:( We are such small-brained creatures, you know.

I KEEP GIVING THEM MY MONEY D:

I have the image of Sanada, sitting at an office desk, stack of papers to the ceiling piled up.

He pulls one from the 'IN' bin, stamps a big fat TARUNDORU on it, and puts it in the 'OUT' bin.

THIS REPEATS FOREVER.

Once in a while, though, Renji would spot one of the papers has a really good Troika porn fic on it, and he would take that paper and stamp this on top.

Renji Approved > Tarundoru, every time.

Thanks for your critique of Brad. :3
