Currently there's a notifications problem at LJ, which apparently has something to do with a third party [EDIT: possibly Spamhaus]. People are getting fairly upset about it in the comments of the news post (well, also because of the banner color scheme).
Also, LJ is currently blacklisted with Spamhaus.

[EDIT: http://www.spamhaus.org/Sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL104433 an example of the complaints filed against LJ.]
How significant is this development? I'm not sure about the technical aspects, but is it possible this has something to do with the notifications problem?
Feeling upset about this, some paid users are having a petition thing here:

I'm surprised some people have this many paid accounts.

There probably are 30 million accounts because of the amount of spam accounts out there, and also because LJ has existed for ten years and churned through a lot of users. Historically, with any site, the amount of accounts just keeps increasing over time, since many people don't delete their accounts.
