(hm, I got a style error, hope this doesn't double post.)
I want to be a complete convert, but there are still some things that I'm like, "well, LJ does them better." None of which have to do with handling customer problems ^_- but I mean technical things.
Do you (or whoever is your techie folk) update the codebase to reasonably keep pace with LJ's, continually work on bugs, etc.? Obviously you don't want to pick up the new "content flagging" business (do you have, like, branches from a trunk, like with Firefox? I've never quite got a good picture of how the open source development is for the Livejournal code and its clones), but, for example, post tracking has never worked for me on IJ. I don't get any notifications. A few friends on LJ have noted this as well. And I wondered if it's because it's never been worked out, or there's something else going on.
I don't think the main site scheme is as featureful and easy to use as what-all LJ has (take with grain of salt -- I hate Horizon and Vertigo and am still sticking with XColibur!), either, although that sort of thing (specific styles) may be proprietary and thus non-portable?
Also, I would really, really miss ScrapBook, which saves me so much trouble with uploading pictures to my own website so as to post them.
Anyway, it's like, I want to support, but my socks are not yet sufficiently thrilled from my person to make me go "yeah, yeah, I totally want to whip out my PayPal account for this." Yanno?
