got that sunshine in my pocket

[pensnest]

I have a tenuous memory of a service on DW which allows people who can afford it to offer points to something that'll buy accounts for people who can't afford them. Is that ringing a bell for anyone? It's time for me to renew my account, and I'll happily throw some points into the pot if I can find the pot. Anyone?

Points may not be an option, but you can buy paid services for other users, including a random user.

I knew about that, but I thought there was something a bit more specific. Thanks!

As conuly linked, you can buy paid services for people in the DW store.

You might also be thinking of the points exchange that's been organized a few times where people sign up to volunteer to buy points for those who need them, and then are matched with the people who request points. But that's not an official DW program. It's user organized.

That's what I was thinking of, a user-organised thing (though it'd be very nice if DW put a link on the official page).

If you've already got a subscription for yourself, buying paid services for someone in your circle or a random someone is also best way of donating money to dreamwidth itself.

True, and part of the reason why I do it.

Today is the last day to sign up to donate points to people for 3 Weeks for Dreamwidth:

That's what I wanted! Unfortunately didn't see it until the 6th, but I have hopes. Thank you!
