LJ's latest outrage: Snap.com
Guys, you'd better check this out. LJ has found a new way to spam our accounts. Now, when people hover over a link on your journal -- say, for instance, your "I've moved to InsaneJournal!" link -- LJ is having Snap.com generate a pop-up image to suck up bandwidth and add spyware to people's computers and God knows what else.
I really wasn't looking forward to going through all of my inactive accounts to deactivate that crap, but now I'm going to have to. Any chance LJ ever had of wooing me back? Just got totally flushed. This is the most obnoxious thing yet!
Here's the discussion that alerted me.

It doesn't carry over comments or icons, and custom friendsgroups can get a bit weird, but it'll at least let you move the content over. (Dunno if you knew about that one.)
