First off, thanks to everyone who supported the strikers! :D We definitely appreciated the help! (HUGS!)

Second, I've lurked, and found some results.

1) Many people are jerks of a high degree. Unsurprisingly, they attempted to make up for and out-do our lack of posting. This would be where I post a failcat for them.

2) Someone attempted to contact the organizer and offered to hack LJ in support. She broke the picket line to report it. (applauds) Maybe someone will disagree with me, but part of the point of this was to not hurt LJ. I completely agree that reporting it was the only way to go. Hacking is serious!

3) In reply to a support request, Marta said that Anton Nossik isn't anyone important in LJ or SUP and that what he said was an opinion only, and doesn't reflect the company.

4) Take this with a grain of salt. These numbers compare a Thursday to a Good Friday (Thursdays are historically slow on LJ though, and while posting is slow on Good Friday for some people, for others who have a day off from work but are not religious it would be faster) and are therefore skewed. Also, the anti-strike forces diminished our impact by posting insanely and spamming.

ETA: I goofed - the posts are in the thousands. So I edited the info. It doesn't change the ratios though. Also, comments contain 2007-2007 comparison for Good Friday and the Thursday prior. :D

Posting on LJ yesterday was 195,200. Today, it was 167,900. That's a difference of 27,300 posts, or 13.9%! Even with the skewed numbers, I'd say we had an impact.
