Well, I knew this was coming eventually, ever since about Day Three of my having the account. It’s great. I use it for writing practice, Vogon Poetry, jokes, funny and/or interesting stuff that happened to me, and occasional attention whoring. (Wouldn’t be a livejournal without it.)
And I got pretty fed up of always getting timed out. The concept of paying for stuff that technically doesn’t exist is still kind of weird to me. But heck, I paid for my site and that was a lot more expensive.
Please, give us lots of disclaimers before presenting Vogon poetry. I don’t want to go insane, or whatever it is that people do when they hear Vogon poetry.
Don’t worry, the Vogon poetry is safely buried in locked entries. Not because I’m afraid of people stealing it and presenting it as their own, but because I’m afraid of people stealing it and unleashing it on the general public.
You can have a LiveJournal for free too. A paid account is entirely optional. However, you do get certain incentives to pay, like faster servers, more user pics, etc. That makes sense, because if you got exactly the same service for free, no one would pay.
