I think some people are being unreasonable with their reasons for not wanting IJ in particular, but, to be fair, GJ was home to a good many people for a few years now. I made some of the best friends I have on that site. I held on for a few months hoping it would get better, but eventually moved. I really like IJ, and I don't think it is very nice to insult it when those who are doing it (well some) haven't even tried it.
Still, I can't say I want GJ to just crash and burn. My stuff is backed up, yes, and I don't post there anymore, but it is still a memory I'd like to keep. We're not all delusional. We just hate seeing a place we loved go down in flames. I understand you're upset with those who keep claiming IJ can never be a good 'replacement' but please remember a bunch of us who are here and happy still have fond memories of GJ (not of system, of the site).
