IJ and LJ accounts

I came over here to IJ because many friends have migrated from LJ and we all want to keep in touch. However, my primary blog is still over at LJ (I just renewed my paid account for 2008).

Anyone else here living at both locations?

LOL--I was permabanned because they think I'm The Worst Troll in the History of Internets.

However, I do have the tiniest little old account they didn't know about and haven't managed to suspend--yet. So I sent most of my F-list over there so I can still keep in touch. But now, with that repressive atmosphere, I'm not at all comfortable even reading posts.

Believe me, I know how to get around their retarded system and could certainly open new accounts if I wanted to. But I can't be bothered. I HATE THEM

PS: their trolling accusation was actually a case of mistaken identities. TWTHI is a friend of mine who deserves all the credit--AND the blame!

Most of my f-list is over at LJ, but my journal is over here. I keep my LJ to keep track of friends/comms, but don't post in my journal at all. It's just a way to keep track of people. *shrugs*

I'm a permanent member over here because of a friend, so I'm staying here for a long while.

I use both, but I definitely prefer here. But most of my friends list won't make the move, and my main roleplaying game is still over there.

I'm in the same boat as you; a lot of my flist just won't make the move! I use Semagic to simulpost.

I do the exact same thing. I encouraged people on my LJ flist to come over here, but they just won't, out of apathy I suppose. I'm finding neat people over here on IJ, so that's nice, but I don't want to lose touch with those on LJ, either. Very frustrating.

Currently, I'm still spending time equally between the two; so many of my friends are still refusing to move. I won't be renewing my paid account on LJ next month, though. If things get bad enough at LJ, I'll simply quit posting and make a final header post directing them to my IJ -- assuming I don't fall afoul of the Abuse Team and get kicked off first.

I'm at both under the same user name. I post first here, then cross-post to LJ. I am paid up at LJ through October-ish, and do not plan to renew LJ. I have a permanent account here.

I'm also there under x_bluerose_x. Most of my friends and fandom communities are still there as opposed to here, so I do timesharing and crossposting to both journals. ^_^

I'm active at both, and sometimes it makes me feel schizoid. I have a lot of the same names on my f'list... but it's hard to remember who's active in each spot, and it sometimes feels weird to post almost the same reply to different comments in the two locations.

I suspect that what keeps me from moving more completely to IJ is layout issues--I don't like any of the site schemes here (although I find them tolerable with [info]snakeling's code patches), and I find myself using LJ for more casual reading and impulse commenting.

Yeah, I'm not too found of the layout styles, here either. I'm a big dystopia fan (I believe that is the one with the blue navbar on the left)

But I gotten used now to the brown scheme by now ;)

I'm also using both LJ and IJ at the moment. IJ is going to be my journal, but most of my friendslist and the communities I watch are still on LJ, so I'm keeping that journal for the sake of reading and commenting. I'm not posting anything new in it and I replaced all my interests with 'illegal/unsearchable' terms.

I'm at both -- and also have started using a Wordpress blog with some of the same material.

I came here because someone whose journal I wanted to read had moved here.

STill am myself. I go under this same username on LJ still because Im trying to get some other personal matters squared away first and wanted to xpost for a bit more while I migrate all my stuff over here. I have done the brunt of the work but all my entries have my lj user tags changed to ij usertags when the script automatically massported all my entries over. Its a very waaah issue and LJ keeps pushing it....

I still read my F-List over there and I may post the occasional comment, but my journal there now consists of one post listing the crap that went down and the reasons I left. I add to it occasionally when LJ does something especially dumb-worthy.

All my journalling is done on IJ. 'Tis the best place of them all. ^_^

Can I ask where that most excellent icon came from? That's a very, very nice looking dragon there. (And do you perhaps know where I can find an icon of a bipedal emerald green female dragon? I really want one, and can't find it...)

I can't speak for niciasus, of course, but many people on my flist who complain about LJ a lot keep paying for their accounts. A guy who was very outspoken about problems he had with LJ tried to encourage me to renew my paid account, and then he renewed his own. Several people I know who have complained about LJ keep buying paid or perm accounts. I don't know why.

Do you know how to receive email notification of your comments. This is one feature I missed the most here at IJ. Not having an email of all of my comments.

I made the mistake of buying a perm account on LJ. Right now I am on both, mainly answering and commenting on LJ and my real journal being here. I have small hopes (very small) that SUP will fail and sell LJ to a better place. But I bought a perm here and intend to stay.

Some of my friends are on the fence, some have come and some will not move.

Starting over here actually feels good.

My paid time on LJ runs out in January and I will not be renewing it; I've got two permanent accounts here for my regular and fanfic journals. I've coaxed most of my Friends over here (and even bought permanent accounts for three of them to sweeten it a little) but I have to keep the LJ account open to read communties. I won't be posting at ALL over there anymore, though, I'll just be lurking.

Maintain my LJ account to suck up bandwidth and read friends but haven't posted there in more than five months. Everything I post is here and, slowly, so is most of what I read. The worse LJ gets, the more I am glad I made the move.

I didn't renew my LJ account after the last suspending fiasco.

I cross post everything here and there.

But I did buy a permanent account here. :) I love the way the site owner communicates with everyone and letting us know about updates.

All of my friends are at LJ, and to be honest I mainly post my day-to-day things over there. I have a permanent account here though, and I am updating my journal more frequently. It takes time to get to know people and for me to feel comfortable posting personal things.

I have an LJ, but didn't renew my paid account when it ran out over the summer. I mostly keep it to keep up with friends, as few of them have moved over here. I left most of the communities there, though have a few bookmarked to read. But I post in my IJ.

I kept my LJ account for reading my f-list and the occasional comment on friend's entries, but except for one entry I deleted everything. I haven't been posting there for a long time, about the ponderosa ban. But even before that I was on alert - I didn't not bought their bullshit excuse after the random interest banning and was worried.

Although I'm almost glad 6A screwed up so public, because otherwise I had a permanent account there now and not here. It pays to keep attention.

I've had my LJ for over four years, and most of its friends list has been with me at least a year. They won't move so I'm still active on LJ.

I'm quite active here on IJ too. The vast majority of my old LJ entries are backed-up here and I cross-post nearly everything. I have a permanent account here on IJ; I bought it my first day here (in June).

I'm still at both, but I've migrated the content that's most important to me to IJ. My LJ account is primarily for reading locked entries of friends reluctant to set up journals elsewhere.

a Home, a Summer Home and a Safe House

Well, guess what! Livejournal is down for maintanance right now (10 - 11 UST, if I am correct) and that's why I am lurking here :D

I have a basic account at LJ and was contemplating buying a permanent account. And then the Stinkthrough happened. And then SUP happened. I just don't trust LJ.Inc at all.

My old LJ will be kept by all posts will be posted on IJ and GJ (for back-up)
I am also planning on purshasing the permanent account on IJ. No money is going towards LJ for sure.

It feels like instead of one homebase now I have a home, a summer home and a safe house, hehe!

I let my LJ presence lapse earlier this year. I didn't renew my 3 paid accounts back when it was sold the first time. Their idiocy has only multiplied.

I can't seem to delete my journals because my LJ friends pitched a fit, but I rarely visit the place and I've lost touch with many people who won't move off LJ or don't seem to see any problems with how they run things. Sadly, thats what happens.

I have no idea why anyone would give money to the idiots at LJ.

I do have a journal in lj but mainly for icon collecting. I was from greatestjournal. And man did it's owner user system@greatestjournal totally messed up his site. In lj at least you can have 15 icons(granted with ads) where as in gj they reduced the number of icons to ten.

My view is insanejournal>livejournal>greatestfailurejournal.

It's amusing, because I totally just renewed my paid account over there, too. Even with all the fuss, that's where I'm used to and that's where my flist is, y'know? I try to keep up with my other journals, but it's usually more of a case of remembering I have an IJ every three weeks or so.

I'm pretty much the same. Although, I never keep a paid account. I had one here and there but I never use the features even though I love those little 100x100 pixelated images called icons. I never even use alot of those. Partly because I prefer to make my own over them made by other artists.

Although I've been neglecting my IJ less recently. But most my friends are pretty much devoted to Livejournal and that's not changing, I don't think. Some of them have been on Livejournal since almost the beginning and have entries to prove it, some have close RL/Internet friends on there that they communicate most with through LJ, some have perm accounts. I did encourage one person over and they even got a perm account but they still fluctuates.

I prefer it here for many reasons but my close buddies and the broader interest base community activity is so over there. Still, when/if I get situated and fully moved in I want to buy a perm account when I can afford it.
