Welcome Agian
It looks like we are once again taking in accounts for GreatestJournal. We are thrilled to have you here! We would like to point out that we do have the resources to take you in. And if the site continues to grow the way it has been then we will get even more resources as needed. We do have a plan in place to further expand the resources the site has. So you do not have to worry about us.

We do hope to win you over and have you host your journals, asylums (communities at other sites), roleplays, and fan fic here, we are also happy just to give you a place of refuge while GreatestJournal works out whatever issues they are having, and totally understand if you go back. We are really just happy to have all of our users here, temporary or permanent!

Also, I know there are a lot of people who are unhappy with the site design here on InsaneJournal. We are currently working on a new easier to use (and easier on the eyes) design that we hope to implement soon. Obviously we will get as much feedback as possible. In the meantime we have a number of older site layouts that you can use. To change to one of them go to http://www.insanejournal.com/manage/siteopts.bml

Thank you for the update, and I'm glad to see you're accepting of rps and fanfic! As a mod of a community I was a little worried. Are you ready to become the new home to the rpers?

Been here for a while now and I can say that it certainly feels like home now. I am enjoying keeping my feet on your table [info]squeaky! I am here to stay and so are my asylums.

But please...if you change the designs...will you keep Tweak? He amuses me to no end. ^_^

To anybody wandering over from GJ (apparently at GJ's suggestion *g*), I just wanted to say this is a very welcoming site.

And as for the news that new journal designs are on the horizon: yay!

PFFT Leaving?! HELL NO!!!! This site has been nothing but good and welcoming since minute one I was here. ALSO gotta love the fact that you squeaky are a very competent and great owner. Why would I go anyplace else? Thanks for the digs and for keeping things running smoothly and happy holidays.

And this is why you are wonderful. As well as loved and admired. Now that I've made both my rp and out-of-character home at IJ, I'm never going back to The Other Place.

I'm really, really glad that you're redesigning the site. However, none of the new looks are really all that appealing either. How about some cute stuff? A little less on the 'insane' theme, okay?

And for those who really dislike the site design, there's always Greasemonkey.

Thanks for being so awesome.

Yeah, yeah, all the great communication between you and the users I hear about so much and the "oh, the layout isn't that bad!", too, psh! Psh, I say! Whatever! I don't care!

But I do think you're awesome for being so damn understanding and working to handle the onslaught of us GJers jumping ship. It is what really convinced me to come here, too, other than just hide away at some other site!

You're so wonderful about listening to what your users say they want! While I still have journals on other sites, I consider my IJ my home base.

^^ I don't think you realize how much even a tiny communication means to people, especially those of us from GJ who are used to things just happening randomly. Are you taking submissions on the new site designs? I completely understand wanting to be different, but I would love something sleek and simple like LJ/GJ have wuth just the bar down the side and across the top. It's just a lot more user friendly.

This update, "Definitely. I totally understand what you guys need and feel that I can provide it. While I may not "get it" I totally understand that you guys enjoy what you do and really want a safe place to do it." <-- that, and the fact that you always go the extra mile is why you completely effin' rock, my friend.

Btw, I like the current default layout just fine. ;)

As someone who got a journal and then permanent account I'll put in a good word for this being a well-run fun site. There is nothing like spending an hour on hold and being transferred to 100 different departments while listening to bad music or whatever some company or another calls customer service and then coming online to see that [info]squeaky has a prompt update about some minor problem that has already been resolved. Or, much, much more commonly, getting online and finding that IJ is running perfectly.

Squeaky, you rock! Thank you so much for being such an outstanding admin. I'm here to stay.

As far as the site layouts go, I think you've got a great start. I've browsed all of them and so far, New Tweak is my favorite.

A lot of the layouts use light text on dark backgrounds, and that can be difficult to read. I think adding some more dark text/light background options with Tweak on them would be awesome. I also noticed that some of the site layouts were contest entries. Have you considered doing another contest?

Any chance we could get java menus to stay and have a navigation layout like we have now but with a gentler colour scheme? I love the way LJ is laid out, and the way IJ has something like that, but the yellows and oranges are definitely less than visually pleasing.

Obviously we will get as much feedback as possible.

I really like it here, and that's part of why. Actually listening and getting feedback _before_ changing default site design. That's something that logically would just be the way things were. But having seen how often it isn't (not just at one particular place, but at all too many)... it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to see it being done right here.

Every time I see an IJ announcement post, even when it's about upcoming downtime or an apologetic "whoops, sorry about that" I feel even better about the money I spent on invested in IJ.

It's so very refreshing to see someone doing the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do.
