Thanks for the meaty, informative post, first of all! It's a bit out of my wheelhouse, so I don't really have any insightful comments for the legal battles other than to give my thanks that y'all continue to do so. I deeply appreciate what DW is and I'm glad that you've been continuous advocates for not only it but for the open internet as a whole.

For my actual feedback, I just wanted to chime in and add that I'm also happy to support a price increase to better support the site as a whole. I'm a RPer, so I usually have a few accounts active at once and have always been appreciative of the service of being able to have my many silly little icons. A price increase for that service wouldn't be off-putting to me at all, personally, since the prices you've laid out still seem very reasonable imo

Also in general, as one of the users that's been here since (one of) the great LJ exodus, truly, thank you for all you do! This is my little home on the internet and I'm deeply grateful for it.
