Sometimes, people feel the need to shut down their journal, or to very quickly remove stuff from display; friend of mine had to do this this very week (on LJ, but same principle). They don't want to delete the journal, and sometimes can't be paid.

And there's a big part of me that wants it to be available to all users--my friend has cash flow problems and had to ask someone to pay for her account, she knew she could and people would. Said problems will be over very very soon, which is part of the reason for her urgent need to cut stuff written when she was 16/17...
