An LWN reader survey Posted Feb 1, 2007 7:49 UTC (Thu) by spaetz (subscriber, #32870) [Link] same here, I would have like to mark "One Year" until I notice that you actually meant "subscriber only embargo time period"
An LWN reader survey Posted Feb 1, 2007 8:12 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] with the ability for subscribers to send links to others I think it's reasonable to consider extending the blackout period
Sending links ... Posted Feb 1, 2007 22:28 UTC (Thu) by kmself (subscriber, #11565) [Link] ... is that still available? I've looked for the feature a few times recently and failed to find it. Should be a good advertising technique, I'd think.

An LWN reader survey Posted Feb 1, 2007 13:51 UTC (Thu) by lysse (guest, #3190) [Link] On that particular question, I'm very happy with being able to specify a number of months for which to subscribe; but I'd have preferred to be able to specify a few more months than 19 in one go! Up to 36 seems reasonable.
As for how long articles should be subscriber-only - I don't know; having them delayed by a week was incentive enough for me, and I don't think just lengthening the embargo will necessarily encourage any more people to subscribe... in fact, perhaps it's already had a cost.

Same here -- I couldn't wait a week.
