Loyalty Userpics

Loyalty Userpics are awarded to Paid and Permanent users on LiveJournal.

You receive a Loyalty userpic when:
 * You or another person have bought three months of paid time for your account.
 * You have had a Paid Account for 12 months (no interruption). This is in addition to the Loyalty userpic given for every three months of paid time. A user who has had a Paid Account for a year will therefore get 4 + 1 = 5 Loyalty userpics, 4 for each trimester and one for the full year.

Additionally, a user who had a Paid Account on March 15, 2006 or renewed their Paid Account before April 14, 2006 gets one Loyalty pic for every three months of paid time they had before March 15, 2006. This was a special promotion which, obviously, does not apply to newer accounts.

Permanent users are always granted the maximum amount of userpics one can have. Currently, it means Permanent users have 45 Loyalty userpics.

When a Paid Account expires, Loyalty userpics are marked as inactive. They become available again when the account is renewed.
