Hi, driveby from the Dreamwidth Google Alerts feed - looks like most of your questions have already been answered, but I think you'd be interested in a link where the site owners address why they're only planning on one seed account sale, ever. (Scroll down about a third of the way to "Why will Seed (permanent) accounts not regularly be on sale?") They're big on keeping Dreamwidth sustainable without third-party revenue for the long haul.
