I see we have had another influx of new users here at InsaneJournal. It appears that a lot of you aren't very happy with the announcement over at our competition. I do have to thank all of you, a number of you have already taken advantage of our low cost upgraded accounts, and we really and truly do appreciate your generosity.

I do want to take the time to let you know that InsaneJournal has not ever been in talks with anyone to purchase the site, nor do we foresee there being any interest from either myself or any outside party to acquire this site. I have been running InsaneJournal for the past 6 years and love this site and respect all of our users.

I am going to also take this space to announce that starting today. We are going to be having a week long christmas sale. Until next monday we will be offering Permanently Insane accounts for $35, and we will be offering 12 month Self-Committed[paid] accounts for only $15. Head over to the Insane Journal Store and buy yourself or a friend an upgraded account.

Thank you for supporting InsaneJournal and helping for this community to grow and flourish.

  I have a question. A lot of LJers who want to move have decided to stay partially because IJ is...well...ugly. The giant smiley, the comment layout...they're detrimental to your business. Do you have any plans to upgrade to something more aesthetically pleasing?

    I'm just a IJ user, but you might find this thread to be of interest. Also, as a permanent account holder, I see that the ?style=mine bit works for me now.

      I am aware, the site design has been a sore spot for most of the life of the site. We are going to be holding a design contest soon.

        That's awesome to hear. :) Even something simple liking adding a work-friendly version of the current site theme would be great - just replacing the orangy color with a grey.
        
        The bright orange makes hiding from the boss a little hard ;)
        
        But more importantly, thanks for everything, squeaky! You might see an influx of GJers soon too. Their users are starting to jump ship because of unaddressed tech issues and this is where they're heading to.
