- yourlibrarian [on insanejournal]: The IJ Only Post - My two fandoms, active in conversation and production over on LJ, have no newsletters here. Since people's flists are fragmented across different sites it seems to me that communities will be particularly important in getting people networked, and read. -
pat_t: Journals - Bah humbug! - LJ isn't perfect. In fact, many of the TOS are worded exactly the same. I may end up having to close shop and say *bye-bye* to fandom. But I'll be damned if IJ is any better. And the one thing I can't stand is a company trying to rip me off. -

selenak: My Best Enemy - So, I wonder, what is it that makes friends-turned-enemies pairings to appealing to me? -
- briar_pipe: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - an approach to lj - I'm looking into the possibility of not closing old/inactive communities and journals and of recycling them instead. Accounts numbering before about 15,136,000 still have the option to remain basic (without the ads). So I need your help, guys, to figure o -
reddwarfer: Boycott Metaishness - It kinda makes me laugh, too, because of the weird sense of entitlement people come across as having in regards to Live Journal. Live Journal is a business like any other. They can do what they want, so long as it isn't against the law, and they really do -
