Cliff's notes: shit's broke and we ain't gonna fix it.

But there were enough strange 'it's been broken for a year, stay tuned for updates' signs around that I picked here instead.
I am now very glad I'm not having to move again.

This doth not bode well for anyone.

I wonder if it's too much to hope that the newcomers will read the rules at asylum_promo and such?

He then doesn't bother to answer my email and posts that "Oh yeah the site's broke and we can't fix it."
He never informed his support team of anything.
A few months ago I told him support on GJ was a thankless job. I guess this is his idea of thanks.

What is genuinely depressing are the pleas from some
GJ membersthat it has to recover. No; it is not going to recover. It is terminal. At least system is telling everybody to head for the lifeboats.It's like "last call" at a tavern: You don't have to go home, people; but you can't stay here.
Seeing so many people not wanting to leave when the situation is going to end catastrophically - it depresses me, because as bad as LJ gets, it will never get to the point where it will be telling users to go elsewhere; and I can't convince them to leave LJ and come here. (Of course, it will be "permanently suspending" any number of accounts; but that is different.)
I have revised my User Info page to delve into GJ's deterioration.

I'd delete my journal there, but we all know it really won't be deleted.

Shame really, to see them fold like this.

I may be talking out of my ass but!
I honestly haven't paid attention to GJ much since 2003, until now while watching all of this. But the information I had from my occasional drop by of the website was that it was mixing and matching alot of different codes. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not a code monkey. In fact I know little about it but me and the husband was just throwing around gossip on the whole situation.
Didn't GJ use PHBB for PMs? Did they ever change that? And I'm somewhat sure that the galleries was by another script? Plus they 'apparently' screwed up the code, therefore they couldn't purge accounts.
Long story short, my husband, who knows more about coding but less about GJ, says it may be possible that some trouble could have been caused between license holders for the mixing GJ actually did. Also since they dabbled with the source code that's open source but never(??) released their modifications, they couldn't sell it (ie; sell account plans).
This is all just musings and there's no truth in it but it is something to think about.
Anyone's free to correct me but like I said, there's an idea.
Honestly, even back in 2003 when it first became GREATESTJOURNAL, people were skeptical, now they're all shocked, pissed, and suprised about this. Heh.

Btw, where'd you get your icon? It looks -awesome-.

Did GJ ever have paid or permanent accounts? If so, it'd probably behoove them to start refundin' some money.
