Eeeps! I forgot to unlock! But, so you won't have to go foraging again, here it is:
I dreamt that unamaga got notified that face_of_joe was being deleted because of it used too much server space. She was all, well, wow, that's terrible, I'll save it and put the files over here and they were all, "Oh, we deleted it already."
And she said, "WHAT? WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME?"
"Well, sorry, it's marked for deletion, we can't undelete."
"How is it that you have a month to undelete when you cancel your account, then?"
"We're right here, we can say when we delete something. Your comm is marked for deletion."
"THAT MEANS YOU HAVEN'T DELETED IT YET."
"I'm sorry, it's marked for deletion for service violation; I'm not undoing it. I can't undo it."
(All this was via IM, btw.) Anyway the LJ person told her that according to the TOS, they didn't have to notify her for TOS deletion, and she was all, "but it's a server problem, not a TOS problem," and they went back and forth for some time about this and finally he said, "I know it's not a TOS problem, I'm just doing it because you're being a wanker." And she was all, I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD.
And then? Get this, then OTWonder Woman arrived and said, "Don't worry, we'll use the technobabble technobabble and load it up to our servers and you'll never have this problem again."
And then I woke up and started laughing because not only had my dreams been hijacked by fandom, they'd also become a PSA for The Organization for Transformative Works or OTW (http://transformativeworks.org/)
Let this be a warning and a lesson unto us. Please go donate, even if it's just a wee bit. So we can have servers of our own. We should have servers of our own.
ETA: I was just discussing the superhero who appeared with misswitch. She wasn't Wonder Woman. She was OTWonder Woman or Transforma or something. I don't know; she didn't say. She did have kind of a Wonder Woman-y outfit with a tiara and arm cuffs and her outfit was the red and white of the OTW logo, and she had the logo all along the border of her cape and on her tiara/headband. And her costume wasn't so much bathing suit shaped as more of a catsuit. It was quite fetching, and the golden tiara and arm thingies were what made it Wonder Womany. I wish I could draw. She was also a red-head. ::nods:: She was awesome!
And why the logo on the cape? Because evidently, I still costume in my sleep and the quite round logo, if placed improperly, would look like wacky nipples or a belly button. ::rolls eyes at self:: Seriously, I wish I could draw.
