Welcome Agian
It looks like we are once again taking in accounts for GreatestJournal. We are thrilled to have you here! We would like to point out that we do have the resources to take you in. And if the site continues to grow the way it has been then we will get even more resources as needed. We do have a plan in place to further expand the resources the site has. So you do not have to worry about us.
We do hope to win you over and have you host your journals, asylums (communities at other sites), roleplays, and fan fic here, we are also happy just to give you a place of refuge while GreatestJournal works out whatever issues they are having, and totally understand if you go back. We are really just happy to have all of our users here, temporary or permanent!
Also, I know there are a lot of people who are unhappy with the site design here on InsaneJournal. We are currently working on a new easier to use (and easier on the eyes) design that we hope to implement soon. Obviously we will get as much feedback as possible. In the meantime we have a number of older site layouts that you can use. To change to one of them go to http://www.insanejournal.com/manage/sit eopts.bml

But please...if you change the designs...will you keep Tweak? He amuses me to no end. ^_^
DONT!
Stay here with us and tweak!
And as for the news that new journal designs are on the horizon: yay!
Keep up the great work, Squeaky. We LOVE YOU!
Thanks for being so awesome.
But I do think you're awesome for being so damn understanding and working to handle the onslaught of us GJers jumping ship. It is what really convinced me to come here, too, other than just hide away at some other site!
I'm here for good no matter what happens with GJ.
Btw, I like the current default layout just fine. ;)
Also, not going anywhere. I love the community on IJ. I'm nice and comfy here :D
As far as the site layouts go, I think you've got a great start. I've browsed all of them and so far, New Tweak is my favorite.
A lot of the layouts use light text on dark backgrounds, and that can be difficult to read. I think adding some more dark text/light background options with Tweak on them would be awesome. I also noticed that some of the site layouts were contest entries. Have you considered doing another contest?
Obviously we will get as much feedback as possible.
I really like it here, and that's part of why. Actually listening and getting feedback _before_ changing default site design. That's something that logically would just be the way things were. But having seen how often it isn't (not just at one particular place, but at all too many)... it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to see it being done right here.
Every time I see an IJ announcement post, even when it's about upcoming downtime or an apologetic "whoops, sorry about that" I feel even better about the money I
spent oninvested in IJ.It's so very refreshing to see someone doing the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do.
