Dreamwidth rambling

Er I hope this doesn't cause any offense, but today I actually unsubscribed from quite a few of the DW accounts that I first added when we were creating them as LJ back-ups. All of those accounts still have mutual access, but I decided that I want to start to try and keep up with my DW flist as well (or "reading list" I guess) now that so many people have left for DW, and at the moment I find that I'm mostly just reading the same entries again that I've already read on LJ, so I've unsubscribed to friends that I'm already in touch with on LJ

For the moment I won't be cross-posting and using my own DW, but I am going to try and keep up with my "subscriptions" over there (is it just me, or is DW awfully impersonal??), and read through it after I've read my flist

Will do :)

And well the other thing putting me off moving is that I have a permanent account here with over 200 icons, and lots of extra perks like comment tracking, it would feel like a real downgrade to move to DW and lose all that. I don't know if I would even be able to purchase icons and paid time on DW actually, because apparently they had problems with paypal and can only accept US credit cards?

Excellent! The Americans and Reign are the only shows I'm seriously watching at the moment. (Though to be fair those past few days I watched a lot of telly since I can't move or do much post surgery.)

I know they don't accept Paypal. I'd purchased a paid account a couple of years ago because only that would allow me to code my own layout. But I'm not sure if I paid with my US or my German credit card anymore to be honest. And yes, I imagine that'd feel like quite the downgrade. I tell myself I don't post enough these days to actually justify a paid account anywhere anymore.

You can purchase icons and paid time on DW, and though you can't use PayPal, you can use any credit card.

That's good to know, thanks! An email I got the other day confused me about whether it was just US credit cards that they accepted, because they were talking about it being possible to get other users to buy paid time on your behalf, and that seemed like a bit of a hassle
