Paid accounts

[greatbear]

I'm trying to decide whether or not to continue my Livejournal 'paid account'. I have only made one phone post, never created a poll or used most of the other features save for the extra userpics and an occasional search. My paid status was an "anonymous" gift from a very sweet and studly friend who did so in order to keep me around during a time when I deleted my journal and was ready to give it up save for reading my friend's entries. It would have happened except in deleting my blog I lose access to that friend's list.

So, I put it out to y'all. Do you have a paid account and enjoy it's features regularly, or would you settle for a free account once again? I'm on the fence but leaning towards renewing so far.

I would get a paid account simply to support the system.

I haven't yet, because at the moment I'm not getting too terribly much out of it. As a tool for making or strenghening friendships it has fallen short of my expectations and I'm considering dropping it altogether.

If I found that I was getting something out of it I'd get a paid account. I just feel it's the right thing to do.

I agree with supporting the system. I didnt think I would get much out of this either, but after a while something seemed to have 'happened' and I connected with people. Still, my involvement comes and goes with this thing, like during the summer when I am not online much. I do feel a bit of comfort knowing it's there, however.

In your case, I'd hang in there for a while, I didnt know how much it meant to myself until I discovered how much my blog apparently meant to others. I enjoy reading your entries and wish I was closer so we could do some motoring. :)

I haven't left. I still see something there. I'm just not posting a lot.

My poor MINI just sits in the garage. I drive her maybe 150-200 miles a month. She gets dusted more often than washed. Living in SF you just really don't need a car.

Still, I love my MINI and never hesitate to buy more stuff for it. I finally got the flag mirror covers :-)
