GJ: What Is Going On?

location: 92325
mood: curious
During Strikethrough (#2) this last summer, one of the options that I looked into (but was non-plussed about) was GreatestJournal. The thing that discouraged me from wanting to jump over to them was the fact that GJ didnt seem like it was very good in the technical aspects of things. Sure it had features that I would of had to pay to have if I stuck with LJ, but alot of glitches, slow access speed, and downtime was happening there. I decided that if they were that buggy then, GJ would be REALLY BUGGY when more LJ people ran there for shelter.

I see that GJ had to refer people to this site due to overload (which would confirm the logic in the previous sentence). Now Im reading more about GJ admin being lax about notifying current customers regarding downtime, glitches and services that they have had to disable to handle the overwhelming flow of traffic. I know that with LJ that really pissed me off (the not telling you and letting you find out for yourself part).

Anyone have any other information about GJ and what is going on there?

well for one, they refuse to update any of the open source code because they are afraid that older users will get ticked off about having to learn how to do something all over again (god forbid!). this ticks me off because despite some of the stupid choices lj has made in implementing new features, the website itself is still far better than it was 3 years ago as a whole. as a result gj is extremely obsolete when it comes to LJ clones, despite all the free services they offer. IJ seems pretty good with that sort of stuff though. also the fact taht the staff over at GJ seem like they are constantly in a bad mood is a real turn off for me.
