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?

I quite like that we can spy on the people to whom we give the codes. Someone on a random message board asked for one and never said thanks, I spy on his silly little journal now (ok, being bitchy). Someone from work asked me for one too. I'm sure they know my name and I am VERRRRRRY careful to keep things friends locked.

Anyway, you're not the only one who thinks about things like this.

just thought of something

maybe they are posting friends only or private?

Oh, that's what they were! And I honestly thought that you were just bashing out gibberish on your keyboard to mock some weird 'cult-of-random-numbers/code' proclivity in Net-Types. Hah, I really had no idea. Perhaps that's because I've never been asked for a code; even though as an 'Early Adopter' I have some at my disposal (so I hear, anyway).

So have you actually been pleaded with for codes?

hm.

you're right. i feel guilty. i've been meaning to write erotica for ages, but i don't know when i'm going to get around to it, or why i would need yet another lj. i felt competitive about getting it first. stom...

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.
