I have a feeling that some of my friends who have paid accounts don't read the
paidmembers community. If you had a paid account when LJ was down last week, they'll give you a week's extra paid time, but you have to ask for it. No, I don't know why they don't do this automatically: maybe to encourage people to read that community?
