Yeah, I think I'm going to stay with the paid account, too. If they fuck up again, then no. LJ is still on probation with me. ;)

I don't think LOTRPS is going to seriously revive any time soon. It was more a "that would have been nice, three years ago" kind of thing. But As I noted in my comment above, RPS is too diverse for that to actually work, most likely. Ah well.
