greatestjournal's gone screwed up again. For those of you who still has journals there DO NOT try to upload icons for you will lose all but ten of them. Plus they once again locked out new journals.
That sucks. I wish I could say that I was surprised but I'm not. I don't think people anticipated the numbers of people who would be either leaving LJ or cc'ing their journals in the anticipation of eventually leaving in such numbers... and the servers just can't handle it.
I'd love to see the stats for each of the sites, especially over time.
That site's not been the same since system screwed up the coding there. I use to think that site was awesome. Who would of thought that back in 2005-6 when gj was at it's peek that it would be such an epic fail.
At this point, it seems to be the case. However, Scribblit isn't open yet and I am betting that they'll be IJ's main competition. They seem nice, are 18+ only, and they have a nice design. Also, prices will likely be similar to IJ.
CJ, so far, is a bad value at $75 for a permenent account, technical problems, and an owner that seems intent on sabotaging herself from a PR standpoint. IMO, not worth it and still a step above LoJo.
Excuse me, but please get your facts straight before making assumptions. The owner of CJ doesn't pretend to know everything about the code there, nor is she ignorant to the mistakes she may make.
:-( Someone commented somewhere that he got into a fight with a user. And then didn't want to link it and give the site a bigger black eye. I wish they had.
There's a link to one of the drama llamaing sessions in CJ's news, which now might be broken because of the name change. I made commiej_news, which is where you can find a lot more examples of the tone there.
I had gotten two journals there, which were deleted when they had site problems. I reregistered one again, but after seeing the kinds of posts the owner makes and the problems they've had, no thanks! So I deleted the account.
LOL. CJ can't really handle the traffic, and if you've been watching syn_promo - Aristo made an RSS feed of their news comm? Yeah, that was to keep track of the wank. The owner of the site doesn't know how to work the code and is incredibly condescending and bitchy.

I'd migrate to IJ completely were it not for the majority of friends and very active fandom communities over on LJ. I'm just a fandom junkie. ^_^

Therefore she DOESN'T understand the code and the OP's facts are straight?

And who are you to make snap judgments?
Tell me, are you a programmer? Are YOU well-versed with the coding mess that comprises the LJ code? I wager the answers are no and no.
Until you are, leave it up to us programmers, will ya?

I'm someone who knows their own limits, ZOMG!
Actually, I'm just someone who knows their own limits and limitations, which is something you might try doing yourself.
Also, I have a suggestion for your mascot: Trot(t)sky, because you seem to have gone to the Mena Trott School of Blogging Crazyspeak.
And blaming LJ for your screwup was the best laugh I'd had all day.
:D

We have well over 14,000 accounts and growing. It looks to me like the users there are perfectly happy with how things are going.
