okay, fine

I decided to be a paid account. For those of you that are also paid accounts, what's your favorite features?

Comments

Extra user pics, custom mood themes (though I'm not using one right now), polls (I don't use them often, but I like to be able to when I can), the email forwarding address, friendsfriends, directory search (this is a big one for me), and creating syndicated accounts (another big one for me).

POLLS.

and lots of icons.

I like being able to get my last 50 comments posted and received, and I like to read the friendsfriends page sometimes. (username.livejournal.com/friendsfriends/)

meh... having more userpics and not having to see any of the ads.

Hmm. Well, the very reason I originally got a paid account was to be able to customize the look of my journal. If you can figure out a little coding, you can do all sorts of things to the layouts. I like having cuztomized links down the sides and having a custom banner up at the top.

Secondarily, I like being able to have more icons. Some people immediatley go and get as many as they can; I am slow to add them because I pick icons I actually use. They're kind of secondary mood signifiers for my posts and comments.

With a paid account you can also create your own custom mood theme or upload one you've found online. One of my friends took pictures of herself to use. Other people of course use photos from their favorite TV series or celebrities.

You can do a bunch of other things as well but I don't use them (voice posts, image storage space, etc).

I'm afraid that I don't take advantage of any of fancy features, except for the photo stuff.
