I was hoping to spend my weekend researching this more, but today's the last day of my weekend and I know I won't get to it. So here are my dumb questions.
1) Those of you who do have Dreamwidth accounts already--it's because you were randomly selected in a drawing, right?
2) Do [those of you who have accounts] have invite codes?
3) What do I have to do to get an invite code from one of you?
4) Do any of you have the $200 "seed account"s?
5) Is a seed account the only way you can get an account that you never have to renew?
6) Can you get a seed account yet? Where? How?
7) What do you guys think about the seed account thing? Is it worth it?
8) If I get a paid account once the beta is over, will I get invite codes I can distribute to people?
9) On Dreamwidth, you can subscribe to people on lj and have their entries pop up on your viewing list, right? Do you have to create a subscription? For people to subscribe to my DW account, do they have to create a subscription? (The way I had to create a subscription for my ij on lj, so lj people could read my ij?)
10) If I got a different name on Dreamwidth, would you all hate me?
11) What do you guys think?
I'm still going to try to look into some of this stuff. Mostly I'm wondering what you guys think about your Dreamwidth account, and how to go about getting one myself.
ETA: if you're already over there, what's your username?

I think the thing with the seed accounts is a business decision - it's better to have recurring payments to run the site with, but yeah, like I said I think they said that there likely won't be more permanent account sales in the future, but don't quote me on that.
And now that I'm thinking about the subscriptions, I don't actually know. When people subscribe to my DW with their openid, I haven't been subscribing back because I'm already reading those people on LJ and it seems redundant - but maybe their LJ posts would show up on DW if I did? I have no idea, so don't quote me on that either. *g*

Business decision makes sense; I was just thinking about the total amount of money involved, not the rate at which the money accumulates.
Maybe if you subscribe to someone's openid, they're lj entries will show up on your DW. Which would be cool! But it'd be even cooler if you could subscribe to them without them even having to make the openid. Then I wouldn't have to depend on anyone else to get whatever I wanted to read on DW. From what I understand they're working on this, but it's unclear whether they can or will do it.
