Yeah. I used to be big about buying paid and perm accounts for IJ... now I kind of feel like I should spend that money elsewhere. Especially with the added "oh no, if it's a paid/perm account it can stay up forever," which on one hand feels totally reasonable (if you're paying for it, they'd damn well better not delete it) but on the other hand feels like blackmail (if you don't shell out money, you can't guarantee the safety of your coontent!). The rule of thumb should be that if there's content it should also be left alone, too.

LJ pulled some spectacular shit, but I believe even they never crossed that line (except when they were banning people for suspicious-sounding interests and the like).
