How to Acquire a Permanent LJ Account

[queerbychoice]

Someone in the LJ support forums has prepaid their LJ account time through the year 2021.

This is not fiscally intelligent.

For those of you who have $100 to spend and are interested, Permanent Accounts are on sale right now. They go on sale intermittently. That's how I got mine - in the previous sale, last March. For $100.

By contrast, buying Paid Account time through the year 2021 will cost you $475 and will give you less perks for your money.

Of course, if you're poor, you could also try to earn a permanent account for free by helping out with LJ administration, such as answering questions in the support forum. But I never seem to get awarded points for even half the questions I answer in the support forum, so I think it would take a distinctly long time to earn a free permanent account that way.

You! Go! Join helpscreening! You will find out support-lore, like why you don't get points for your answers unless they mysteriously get turned dark green.

Or if you don't care very much, just read the support guide.

Also, if you would be interested, apply to lj_abuse. It's fun! Sorta.

You have to be really insanely in to that to get a permanent account off of it.. I think I'll just let my 21 support points sit all nice and quiet by themselves.

That actually would be rather to my taste. (I have odd tastes that way.) I like untangling delicate emotional conflicts and ethical dilemmas.

I'm not so sure about the volume of time required though. How many hours per week does it usually require?

I only have 6 support points.
