In recognition of the fact that we live in a world with vastly more serious issues than an EllJay blackout:
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?
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.
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 theForce 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.
Because if you don't, the monsters under the bed have already won.
On the other hand, free stuff. Yay!
Parents don't understand you?
Awash in a dark, dark sea of agony and woe?
LJ compensation may be the answer!
