New User Here
Probably won't migrate over here fully - yet - but just wanted to say it looks great. I'm thinking of buying a permanent account... perhaps if I ever move over here. :)
I'm certainly going to use my account as a fanfic archive and I'm considering buying a permanent account. You have one of the most sensible TOS I've come across in recent years.
Unfortunately, I have some issues using paypal Europe and money transfers from outside the US are quite expensive. I hope to figure something out soon. :)
As soon as I get my next paycheck, I'll be purchasing a permanent account and I'm planning to move some of my fannish activities here.
Thanks for the welcome!
Pip :)
Min ;)
The idea of a cleaned up, prettified LJ is just...blah. No fun.
After 20 mins of looking around, I love the layout of this place and am all ready recognizing some people.
Either way, permanent-permanent or simply here until you decide to take [insert time] payments, I'll be moving over.
The one thing I miss from LJ is the nav strip (I know, I know, everyone else hates it, but I live by it). Any chance of adding something like that here?
Regardless, I'm going to get a paid account as soon as I get myself and my communities...excuse me, asylums...settled in. :D
I'm moving here because of LJ's shameful censorship move. I wasn't personally affected, but my girlfriend had her journal nixed for a few days, and it caused both of us more tears and stress than we needed.
We'll both be getting paid accounts shortly. Thanks for providing a safe place for our free thoughts!
I found this site after the Strikethrough at Livejournal occurred. I have already made a final post on my LJ telling everyone to switch over to InsaneJournal.
Keep up the good work!
I'm glad to see others are considering IJ to be a viable option. I have to say that I personally like the layout of both the front page (very easy to navigate...LJ used to be like that *sigh*) and customisation options even for free accounts is flexible enough for me. I'm definitely considering getting a permanent account once I have the financial opportunity to do so. (I'm a teacher aspiring to creating a graphic novel, so most of my paycheck is going elsewhere)
I've seen several other people voice it, and I'm going to ask the same, although I've seen the answer; there's a fandom community on LJ, that's just for a headcount, and there's like, 23,000 journals on it, and more that didn't join I'm sure. Can your server(s) handle that kind of load?
Thankee-sai!
So again, thanks :)
Right now, I'm just kind of... well, it's complicated situation, I just need a place in a corner of online where I don't know anyone online. I just hope my friends don't follow me here. o_o;
I do wish I could spread the word about this fantastic site but at the same time, I don't want to be discovered. :\ Of course, I made up a new account name with no relation to the LJ one. And from the looks of things, this seems like a great asylum safe place for me to live in. =)
And while I'm not affiliated with any of the fandom, I have been watching the strikeout closely and some issues have arisen, along with my need for a place of my own online. I know you are accepting of both free and paid accounts, but soon (late august), I plan on getting perma account here and stop paying for LJ.
And whaddya know, the very first thing after uploading a user pic, is to reply this notice! So thank you for welcoming us all.
Thanks for the welcome!
One thing that does worry me a bit is the low sale price of permanent accounts. Quite honestly, I'd rather buy an annual account so I can help your ongoing revenue stream for the purchase of servers and bandwidth. I'm less likely to remember to donate every year!
Honestly, if fandom comes here to you, I think you'll need an ongoing source of cash to buy those things we want - reliability, speed, capacity, and you'll probably need help running the site as it grows, so that means paid help.
I deliberately haven't bought a permanent account just yet so I can talk with you about this. If you're going with only free and permanent accounts, I'll try and set up a reminder system for myself so that I can give you money each year.
Let me know? And thanks again!
I am so veru definitely happy here, altbhough I've done a goof up on an account XD. I went to buy extra user pics for one of my RP journals as a gift tonight, and wound up paying for them again on this journal because I forgot to do the 'gift' option for them (Fortunately, the main part of getting the perm account set up went well. *g*)
NO worries, though, it's only $10, and my mistake, so in a bit I'll try 'gifting' my own Rp journal again with the extra user pics. *g* consider the extra ten a 'thank you' for being here!
I especially like your assurance that you won't be arbitrarily deleting content! It really is a relief to see that spelled out so plainly on a site, and thank you for saying it.

Can you, please, direct me to 1) your FAQ section, and 2) the link to create an asylum?
