Account codes are now required on InsaneJournal. They can be given as gifts from existing accounts (http://www.insanejournal.com/invite/) or you can purchase one by buying a paid account for an email address (which will allow you to create an account AND become a paid member).

If you want to generate new account codes, visit http://www.insanejournal.com/invite/ . Please report any bugs with the invite code system ASAP and we will resolve them asap.

The codes are generating fine, but it's the captcha system that isn't accepting anything. I'm typing in the right answers, but nothing is coming.

Squeaky, none of my accounts can generate codes even though all of them are more than a week old.

FYI: The first link in your post did not bring me to the "invite" site.It lead me to sites with ads for traveling and a porn site and etc.

If you need a code, join codeshare.
This is an asylum to share codes and obtain them.

There's an error showing up that's rather interestin'.

When I link to an account that is definitely 'active', in the sense that I can log in as it: IJ tells me that 'there is no such user as _____'.

Thanks for the info.

There's a few things I wanted to say.

First of all, on the FAQ page you say, "For every 20 support points you earn by helping at the Support center [http://www.insanejournal.com/support/], you receive 1 invite code." How are we supposed to earn support points in a timely manner when answers to support requests go so long without being approved? There are open support requests from literally two and a half years ago. I opened a support request for something back in July, got a response in August, and the response wasn't approved for me to see until November. It seems like nobody actually cares about the support board.

Second, there's no way to report spambots. On Livejournal, there's a page users can go to and enter the names of suspected spambots for investigation. AFAIK, there's nothing like that here. Maybe something like that would help?

TYVM Squeaky, for all your hard work and for setting this up! This is terrific and should be a vast improvement, as well as put a dent in the spammers being so problematic!

This wouldn't be so bad if free users could make more than one code. I honestly don't want to have to buy an account.

Obviously this won't be an issue for probably another few weeks or so, but if we rename a deleted/purged journal, will the invite code count reset? Or are we stuck with zero codes if the person that had the journal before already used their one code?

I don't know if this is the place to comment but for some reason insane journal won't load on any of my browsers for my laptop. I restarted the router, checked my virus protection list, and unchecked "use a proxy server for your LAN". any suggestions on what might be causing this problem and how to solve it? I got to the main page once after refreshing several times but it hasnt worked since. thanks

Hey, Squeaky-- a bug I've noticed in the last couple of days: redirects from renames are now broken. Usernames that redirected from the old journal to the new are now reading as deleted/purged. Not opening a support ticket, as none of mine are affected, but thought you'd like to know!

Great, but the payment centre is not working. I attempted to buy a rename token so that I cold have a purged usename. But it just goes to all kinds of errors.

I find it awesome that you turned on the invite codes to deal with spamming!

I do have a question though about invite codes. For the users that have had purchased paid time in the pasted, will they be able to generate more than one could or is that paid time not accounted for?

It's noted in the comments that account codes are meant to be temporary. Do you have any idea when that restriction might be lifted?

I'm mainly asking because it's hard to introduce new friends or get a new cast for games running when I only have so many account codes I can share without having to switch to a paid account.

if we buy a paid account, are we able to use a purged username? or do we still have to buy a rename token?
