LJ Crush Meme - Solution to the selling off...

LJMeme.com Crush Meme

Number of crushes on me so far: 4

LJ username:

Hmm... now I know who two of them are... but who could the other two be? That'll have to be one of life's amazing little mysteries... and no I won't be paying to find out either. Some things are better left as mysteries. =:)

Oh, and for anyone bothered by the fact they're now selling the lists (though you should always have expected it from that line in the User Agreement), there's an easy way to destroy all information without paying them by doing exactly as I have done...

1) Add *all* your friends to the list.
2) Add some extra users to the list manually, mentioning that the list is absolute rubbish. (I added the users, '**** PLEASE NOTE *****', 'My List is bullshit :P' and '***********'
3) Make sure to post what you've done on your LJ so everyone knows your list is absolute rubbish, and that appearance of your name if they choose to buy anything from the site is meaningless. =:P

Yup, they can do what they like with that list now. Good thing the people behind the site aren't too smart. =:D

Heh, I know who two of mine are as well. =;P And I've done the same thing as you, though I didn't think of adding the "My list is bullshit" thing. =;P At any rate, I wouldn't use a list like this to do anything serious anyway.

*thinks of better things to do with $5*

Oh forget it, this is going to take forever...

*thinks of more pointless things to do with $5*

Ah, that's better. =;)

Actually the main reason for adding those extra few 'users' at the end is incase anyone buys my list, for some unknown reason. I admit I expected the site would let you buy the ability to see who'd added you, but I never thought they'd go as far as to let you buy full view of someone else's list. =:o Still, if anyone is foolish enough to do pay them they can then read through all the names on mine, before seeing at the end that's it's all worthless. =:P

Nor me. Frankly, small print or not I think that's really a pretty unpleasant thing for them to do, and I have actually emailed a couple of friends already to warn them to follow your lead.
