I can has fake flyer?

In recognition of the fact that we live in a world with vastly more serious issues than an EllJay blackout:

Parents don't understand you?
Awash in a dark, dark sea of agony and woe?
LJ compensation may be the answer!

Do you live your life on LiveJournal?

Do you have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement?

Do you find the Internet is absolutely and entirely vital to your feelings of self worth?

Do you feel like the world just doesn't do enough to understand the pain and anguish of seven hours without your LJ?

Do you believe it's a conspiracy that a service with over thirteen million user accounts takes a while to start after a power failure conspiracy?

Do you think that the advertising meme of asking leading questions with unusual emphasis, sorted in ascending order of length, and aimed to elicit favourable responses to whatever follows may be a little tiny bit overused?

There's a nonzero chance you're not alone!

If you answered 'yes!' to any of the above, you may need a webpage implementing a fairly simple account management script to validate you.

Yes, you.

For too long, you've dealt with featureless scripts, with bland announcements that an entry or a comment has been posted, that you've successfully voted in a poll, or that you're not authorised to view a protected entry.

You.

Not authorised.

OHNOES!!!!

Clearly this is inadequate, and LiveJournal has the answer for you. Not only will the shiny new page listen to you, it'll even let you click on the little button. And then, when you do, not only will it credit your account with three whole days in recognition of a seven-hour disturbance in the Force Internets. Not only that, but your confirmation message - your message, uniquely personal to you - will even be customised with your very own personal account expiration date.

Paid account compensation

Because if you don't, the monsters under the bed have already won.

On the other hand, free stuff. Yay!

But, but, but the link says that I'm not eligible to receive any reimbursement. It says that I am not eligible! How dare they!?! JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T PAY FOR MY ACCOUNT DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T DESERVE COMPENSATION!!!!!

::is offended::

You callin' my layout flimsy?!

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

We have a word for people like you at my work.

It's not fit for polite company. Or rude company.

Hell, not even vile, base, debauched, amoral company, for that matter.

Them's fightin' words!

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

Hee. I almost used that icon.

BRAIN TWINZ, ACTIVATE!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

No, not yours, but there are some layouts that'll collapse mightily if you so much as think about HTML.

*offers hugs as compensation*

I thought you were saying a few days ago that you don't have time for words.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

ZOMG! Obviously it's not them, it's you. They just hate you.

I sneak in a little time here and there

[mrpyro.livejournal.com]

I just find the whole thing a little silly: this may be because I slept through the blackout and so had no idea that it had actually happened until I read people complaining about it.

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

Pretty much the same for me. I slept and worked through it. Didn't notice.

Lolz, hilarity.

(I still claimed it though - hey, free paid time! XD)
