For all my friends moving from Delicious

Pinboard thinks you're all right!

(In other news, I'm finally well enough to write again. Hopefully I'll actually post some fiction soon...)

Are they going to offer a free version? Because I can't afford to pay for it D:

No, unfortunately, and that's the only thing making me hesitate. I understand their reasoning for charging (they're trying to avoid spambots joining and causing trouble) but, yeah.

There's a lot of people gifting accounts here (http://pinboard.livejournal.com/518.html)! I kind of understand why he'd want to charge though. I think the whole operation is run by one guy and it's his full time job--he's gotta pay his rent (and for server space) somehow!

Well, in the spirit of the Pinboard Exchange Meri linked to, how about I finance an account for you? PM me.

Holy cow, that article really brightened my day.

That was superb.

And the fic linked at the end just cracked my shit right up.

and if you actually fix something someone might knit you a sweater.

For some reason this made me lol the most out of the whole thing. What a well-written article!

Seeing fandom looked at in that kind of positive light is amazing. And the AO3 story is delightful!

That article makes me want to buy in just to support such a friendly guy. Then I realized I hadn't even donated to AO3 yet, and in fannish loyalty, I gotta do that first. ::saves pennies for someday::

Maciej is soo delightful. I really like that he's welcomed us while also remaining true to his original userbase. I bought an account, and I never even use delicious! I just wanted to support him.

That was just delightful, and makes me quite willing to pay the fee because I feel welcome.

Fuck you so hard, delicious. Why fix things that aren't broken!
