LJ go boom

[evildrem]

Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose. That's all I'm gonna say on the subject of both the LJ deletions and FanLib.

But as per elke_tanzer's post here I have amended my interests.

I have an account at Greatestjournal under the name evildrem and a Journalfen account in the name of teh_EVIL. I am not planning on moving from LJ but if forced it will most likely be to Greatestjournal as there is a snowball's chance in hell I will be giving any money to Journalfen anytime soon.

Dr Who won't be up until Monday as I am away at the weekend.

The ETA to the apology sure makes him sound tired and emotional as a newt - "I would hate to be apologies every hour, Its late."

And this - "Where is Brad?
He is on a well deserved vacation. He has worked so hard for so long to make this site great. He probably would have responded faster. I will need to beg his forgiveness too for doing such a bad job of filling in his absence."

Is positively *Japanese* in its abasement. Seriously.

And ironically, Brad don't give a fuck at all!

I don't know the history of Journalfen... is there a reason I should avoid switching to over there?

It's run by cranks

...who have a slightly cavalier attitude to people's personal information and the site itself spends more time down then up.

This is of course all IMO, your mileage may vary.

As someone who's never really been in THAT community, it's good to hear opinions from people I actually know. Thanks! :)

A view from someone frustrated by the owners of JF, and if you follow the links, you can get a flavour of the attitude to users:

Very interesting... thanks for the links!

As I'm in the process of amending my interests, I'll take your suggestion. That's an awesome idea!

Honestly, I don't see LJ going belly-up. But I've had a greatest journal for awhile. I just don't use it.
