No one probably needs me to add to the nearly 10,000 comments on the relevant news post about how ugly and non-functional LJ's latest changes to comments and threading are. But more serious news of late is that if you have an LJ account you should check its status: people are reporting finding themselves set to recurring payments without their knowledge or consent, regardless of whether they'd ever been set that way in the past. (This is merely by coding accident, one hopes, but still.)

Sorry if I sound a bit snarky, but I think a lot of their 'coding accidents' have accidentally made LJ / Six Apart a lot of money. Glad I moved to DW.

Oh, snark is not misplaced with me. I admit to having raised a cynical eyebrow on more than one occasion, wondering if they could really have made XYZ mistake through honest screw-up, as opposed to wilful ignorance at best, and deceit at worst.

And this is why I'm never getting a paid account on LJ. Dreamwidth, I might actually consider, someday. But never LJ.

I dont mind the comment format actually.

I will check my account but I dont see how they could, because they dont have my payment info anyway. :D Mine is a "plus" account.

Mine is Basic, but I've been paid in the past, so I was sure to check (although the credit card info itself, had they stored it anywhere, would probably be out of date by now).
