InsaneJournal Announcements

An LJ-ish tactic would be to delete your account without warning. XD

That among others.

Seriously though, did you know that LJ had begun collecting information about users' searches on the site and never made an announcement in news about it?

I used to keep up with the stuff they tried to put over their userbase via no_lj_ads and that made me decide I'd never give them money out of my own pocket.

Before Strikethrough happened, I was going to buy three permanent accounts on LJ. After Strikethrough though, I came here instead and bought fifteen. Not sure if you've ever checked prices, but running a site is damn expensive, especially one this size.

I do have and pay for my own hosting, which I'd probably blog on instead if I weren't too lazy to set things up. But the thing is, like I said, I don't consider myself to be in the usual demographic for LJ and its clones.

So a lot of the connectiveness and features and stuff which are important to other users just don't mean as much to me.

But I'm glad you've found a place that suits your needs so well.

I still think IJ is the best of them all.

It does seem to be one of the nicer alternatives.
