Permanent Accounts

[caddyman]

One or two people on my friends list have purchased permanent accounts on LJ. I was thinking about it too.

Is there any real point? What do people who have them think?

It seems a bit steep at $175, even with $25 going to charity. A paid account is $19.95 a year, so it would take around eight and three-quarter years to pay for itself. Am I likely to be still using LJ in 2017? It will be 6 years in January since I started keeping a journal…

I bought mine a few years ago when it would be a 6 year thing to pay back (I think they were doing a deal) I kind of figured it was the only place I'd be posting and it would future proof me a bit from new costs. And at the time they weren't all commercial and stuff so it was paying back to the people giving me somewhere to post.

I can't say if it's been 'worth it' either way as, to be honest, I've no idea what not having it would be like now...
