pretty miffed that people are gonna SUDDENLY STOP TAGGING because of this dumb shit.

i have a centimeter of sympathy for people left with weird/ not useful icon sets, because that happens sometimes when paids run out too, and it is mildly annoying. ... but that is the only scrap of sympathy I can muster.

I don't. They took advantage of the glitch on purpose, so it's not the same as an account running out.

If they're stuck with weird ones now, sucks to be them.

I have none. It's not like it just up and deletes the icons. You just go manage icons, delete all but 15. Now you have a useful icon set. Even if all 15 of those were inactive, they will become active when the excess is gone.

Yeah, so far I'm not seeing anything but "... Oh well."

(Anonymous) 2012-10-01 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
pretty sure that's because anyone with two braincells to rub together is going to know how many people are watching like a pack of rabid hyenas, waiting to pounce hungrily on the first sign of emotional outburst

Now I bet the one person who whined like mad about how she was going to have to redo it all is appreciating anon's gift.

I can't believe some of the people bitching about this.

Most of the people on my timeline are of the "oh well, was fun while it lasted, gonna shell out some cash/deal with my limited icons now," variety, but there are some who are flipping the fuck out.

Not surprisingly, the "oh well" people are the people who used the glitch on maybe one or two of the accounts they used less heavily, but paid for their primary accounts. The people who are flipping out are the people who took huge advantage of the glitch, using it on multiple accounts with 200+ icons and paying nothing.

Entitled bitches need to shut the fuck up and stop whining about having to pay less money for an account than they spend impulsively on a t-shirt from Woot.

I have several accounts with a paid. I wouldn't really care if I went to 15 comments if my paid ran out and I couldn't renew it right then and there.

The only thing that bugs the crap out of me is that I can't pick my 15 without deleting all the other 85 icons.

*icons not comments

Ugh

(Anonymous) 2012-10-03 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Supposedly it picks the 15 icons you use the most but doesn't count posts/comments in communities. Rumour is that if you make you a post in your journal and use your 15 picks in comments there, those are the ones that will keep.

i can confirm this.

when the glitch fix went up, i went down from 30 to 15 in my account and imagine my surprise when i got all these icons i never used in my rping before. check my journal lo and behold: all the icons that were saved? i used them in the entries and comments.

so is it supposed to look like she's sucking on a boob with a weird flesh-colored nipple, or...

Try again later, everyone's sulking because there weren't any good freakouts on plurk.

Looks like the character's just holding their hand to their mouth. The nub you see is the thumb. You can see the separation between the pointer finger and the index finger toward the center left of the icon and the knuckle is shaded.



Could be holding onto a dick and giving a blowjob though.
