Invite codes

[gerbie]

Last week I put some codes up for grabs. 3 of them were taken within a couple of days. Now, a week later, the three of them have combined for 1 post, 1 word. That is one letter each in a week time. I feel reluctant to give out more codes, even though I have plenty. Why do people beg for a code, if they aren´t going to use their LJ? Why do they take hours finding one, but not minutes to update? Why do I even bother to write a post about this subject?

Comments

Writing in your journal isn't the only thing you can do on lj... If you read frequently, friends lists alone would justify getting an account, imho. That plus this: commenting! Ok, you can do so anonymously, but as slash-dot's name for anon. makes clear ("anonymous coward"), it's sometimes no fun not being identifiable.

I know there are more options. Yet when one looks at the user info and sees that there are no friends defined either and no comments (the number is there), one can but conclude that it has been abandoned.

I can imagine it being fun just to comment, without ever writing yourself, but even then, just a small acknowledgment that you take the code and use it would be nice.
