Site Update

We just flipped a switch that should force everything to SSL on the site from now on. This had previously caused an issue with the LJ Juggler plugin, but a new version just went out that should solve that. If you are having issue, please update your plugin to the latest version (5.2.0).

We are hoping that this, once and for all, solves the issue with getting logged out on the comments page.

  We have been investigating a way to do it without purging content, rather just free up unused usernames with forced renames. That said we are still a ways off from being ready to announce anything like that.

    As long as we get a chance to keep unused names. I have some that I'm waiting for the right game or psl to use that I've kept from other purges, I would not want to lose them.

      This. Also, I have some that I removed all content from in hopes of starting completely fresh with them. So long as there's some way to explicitly mark a username as "nope, I still want this" so it doesn't get released for another person to grab, I'm cool with unwanted and abandoned empty accounts getting renamed.

        I've done this as well, so definitely agree on that.
        
        I would rather a desirable un was unavailable forever than to lose a journal I haven't used yet or have deleted the content from and not used again.
