Meta: Support

[redbird]

I'm not doing LiveJournal support these days (no deep reason, I just drifted away and don't feel pulled back), but I've got a bunch of support-related communities on my friends list. I'm probably going to leave them there, because reading them lets me answer some of the questions that my friends post on their journals. This is a win for me, because I like being able to answer questions, and for my friends, because they get answers to things they may not even realize the support board is relevant to.

With you on that. I have specifically given up support, and for a reason in my case. But I still read all the support-related communities, at least those that post public. Partly cos I have lots of friends in support, but partly for the same reason as you. Having been in the position of knowing a lot of the details of how the site works, and being the first to know about changes and stuff, I find I can't just give that up. And indeed, I've been using my "bunneh" icon a lot to post helpful comments on my friends list.

I did deliberately grab the icon I'd designated as "_support" for such an answer yesterday, though it's not a bunneh, it's a butterfly; I just wanted to be sure I had something support-appropriate to turn up there.
