Tomorrow morning's Seed Account sale
Our second batch of 100 Seed Accounts will be going on sale at 9AM EDT (1PM GMT) -- we've scripted that, since neither
mark nor I will be awake for it, so consider this your warning
dw_news post!
Something I forgot to mention in the last
dw_news post: if you previously had paid time, and you purchase a Seed Account in this sale, you can open up a support request in the Account Payments category, and we're happy to transfer your paid time to another account for you.
And thanks, everyone, for supporting Dreamwidth. We couldn't be doing this without you.

I'm really not equipped to be able to pay for things at the moment. :/

That really wasn't necessary though!
I do appreciate this. I'll make sure it goes to good use. Thanks. :)
Is there anything at all I can do to return the favour somehow?

That was really unexpected. Thanks again. :)

They obviously meant GMT proper, as opposed to BST (British Summer Time).

Re: Paid Account Fairy
This way you can try out the paid features, and it might make the move from LJ a little easier. I moved over for the same reasons, and I ♥ it here!

Wow!
Thanks! =)

(Also, thanks! Because it was when I was going over my budget to see if I could possibly squeeze in room for a seed account that I discovered I'd forgotten to budget in one of my May bills, which would have been very bad if I hadn't caught it. So thanks for the occasion to notice that. *grin*)

I won't be able to buy a Seed Account because alas, I really don't have the money. BUT I will continue to be a Paid member to support you guys on the long run. Keep up the good work!

You wouldn't be doing another batch of these in a year or so, would you? Because then...then I could save up. O:-)

From the FAQ: "Seed accounts were sold at the start of Open Beta in order to raise money for the service. These were purchased with a one-time payment, are valid for the lifetime of the service and have all the features of a Premium Paid account. Barring unforeseen circumstances, they will not be offered again."
These were already extra that they hadn't planned to sell so I'd say no. I think Denise explained that offering seed accounts would mean the site was doing bad financially.

i loved mucking about during the beta and i'm so pleased with how attentive you all are.

I'd like to get a paid account, mainly to get more icon spaces, but, like many, is not the best time. Well, hopefully if other people get seed accounts and such, DW will continue to expand and get better, even while the economy is not so good.
Paid and seed accounts

Normally I go permanent everywhere, 'cause I tend to use accounts heavily and frequently. But I can't really afford that any time soon, and I have other accounts on other websites, so instead I just wish you good luck ;) I hope DW does well - it seems like a much better start than other sites I volunteered at such as uJournal or AML.

I wish you all the best in this endeavour.

If we weren't on a limited income I would go for the Seed account.

I will admit that I was a bit worried by this wording in the TOS:

What does this mean, precisely? How are you planning on using what we post? Do we have copyright claim to what we post here? I'm confused.

I'm thinking primarily of blogs hosted on webservers (like self-installed versions of Wordpress, Moveable Type, etc) or from sites such as blogger.com, blogspot.com, etc, etc.

Seed accounts were on sale for a limited time -- we don't want to sell too many of them, because it can have impact on our business in the future. You can see our reasoning in our business FAQs.
