Hello. I figured I should post here, both as a welcome to new users and as a "feel free to add me' kind of thing. My name is Ryan and I have used IJ since 2004. Like the LJ Strikethrough '07 refugees, I too once came here as a result of being dissatisfied with a LJ-based site. For me, it was GreatestJournal. I wouldn't trust the owners/managers of GJ half as far as I could throw them.
I am young, younger perhaps than any other IJ user. I am only 16 (almost 17!) years old, but I try to act older than I am. I suppose I usually do. I am also gay and therefore very supportive of the GLBT movement, both online and in my local community. I am entering my Junior year of high school in a fairly small city of 25,000 in the Great Plains area. I am theoretically a Socialist, though I tend to be realistic and support Democrats. I am very involved in politics and look forward to working on the 2008 campaign.
I am a member of the IJ Support Team, and active in FAQ writing. I am planning on doing a huge overhaul of the FAQs starting this weekend.
