Thus far, I've been very impressed with your set-up. I especially liked the visual confirmation when I attempted to respond to one of my own post as anonymous. A simple step, and one that's effective.
I'll certainly be using this as a back-up and cross-posted account, although I don't know if it'll be my main blog (at least in the immediate future).
I do already plan to pony up some cash to support the site as my brief experience has been overwhelmingly favorable.
hello from spike
I went there and bam-- several weeks later the strikeout started up.
I am opposed to censorship-- seems to me the back button still works yanno.
Aside from that, in order to preserve free speech of any variety, seems to me that there is a risk of running into conversation [electronic or otherwise] that
any singular individual may not like or agree with.
I bought the perm account straightaway and the extra pictures.
And I'm going to tell my lj buddies and the free speech communities that have risen up what a great place insane is.

I'll stop to be kind.
*shivers*
If its true that LJ is going too commercial, and will be less user friendly, then alot of people will need to know about IJ and I certainly will help spread the word!
now i have an insane me, a live me and a dead me LOL
how many users do you have so far and are you prepared for the large amount of traffic that may be headed this way?
With the rumors of SixApart going public and the very real threat and possibility of this being far from over as they want to make LJ look "nice" for investors in the stock market... as an active participant in fandom... I'll admit to feeling scared and sick right now.
I've defended the changes on LJ time and time again. I knew changes were inevitable. It's not even that they're going public that's bothering me, it's being lied to. And I don't even really deal in fics that hold most of the questionable content. I do write some incest (in two of the series I'm interested in, het incest is canon - Carnivale and Angel Sanctuary) and one not-quite, with Ed and Al in FMA. I try to avoid writing the characters in sexual circumstances, depending on the partner they're with, below the standard age of consent. I usually write het and gen, and don't often go for really dark or squicky topics. But even so...
Right now, my biggest worry is overwhelming the servers here. The code and the functionality of IJ seems to be superior to either GJ or JF. I have to admit I'm curious about any long-range plans you might have for keeping IJ afloat if you sell perm accounts at such a low price.
I'm just feeling really miserable and upset over this right now. I've had my LJ since May of 2001. I found LJ through fandom (through links in the now-defunct CFAN) and I've made a lot of friends in various fandoms and non-fandoms alike there. I have a lot of non-fannish obligations on LJ now that will keep me tied to the site until I'm forciably removed.
I believe you when you say you're not going to censor beyond the letter of the law. But the problems of GJ and JF as options, and the fact I'm really heartsick over this whole charlie foxtrot on LJ... I'm gunshy right now on committing to any new site.
this place looks like fun. I didn't know about it, or I would have chosen this over LJ. Pretty new at all this journal stuff, but I'll look around and at the moment it seems very promising.
Will check everything out and am definitely becoming a paying member ; )
I'll post a link to this site as soon as LJ is working again to entice more people over. It would be really neat if my favourite communities would at least brach out to your site. This would mean I could give up on LJ for good.
cheers
Love the mascot, btw. He's awesome, and I like the little random lines.
...Well, nobody ever said I was sane, did they?
Yes nice place here
So, I expect this to be a much more relaxing place to blog at - not as stressful as LJ can be when it's being DDOS/DNS attacked. :p
Once I have $$, I will gladly put forth the effort and buy a perm account. (This little thing called unemployment & no income right now...)
