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

All in all, I am glad to hear that the site is growing. Folks in my own circles are still transfering over, because this really is the place to be. I'm just thrilled beyond words to see the site readily welcoming so many new people!
We moved our roleplay game here and I couldn't be happier that we did so.
Once again, thank you for the awesome communication and willingness to provide your users what they want/need.
I know some people from GJ are also wondering about the possibility of a feature to show who on their friends lists is logged in and a notifications page where we can see all of our comment notifications (rather than having to reply on them getting through to inboxes). Any chance of either/both getting implemented?

Also.. I don't know why this is happening but when I've made two accounts, both activation emails failed to be emailed till I went back and manually changed the address in the edit profile to another email and then back to mine again. Is there any reason why they aren't being sent out automatically?
I would like to ask though..in regards to the layouts for our journals. I used kunponent1 over at GJ because I like to make my own headers. I liked the layout itself and loved the fact that I could customize my header image. I've been through the layouts you offer and none seem to fit with the style I am used to. Is there any way that you could possibly get that particular layout for IJ as well? I'd love it if you could.
Thank you for taking me in and I'm sure that my circle of friends will be soon to follow.
I'm very glad you're working on a new site design. Meanwhile (to other people), I've found that putting a simple white-backed table on my entries is very helpful.
One thing I wanted to ask about was feeds. I know I created various syn feeds, and most were coming through just fine but in the last few weeks two of them stopped completely and I'm not sure why, and a few others are only getting sporadic updates. Is there anything that can be done there?
anyway! thank you very much for all the hard work you've put into the site.
It'd be great if you let free users have moodthemes though! People have to host them off another server anyway.
That, and a few free syndicate feeds would definitely tip the balance to here.
That's one thing that ticked me off so much during most my two years at GJ... their feed maker is broken and they don't plan on fixing.
So. Bananas. What's your take on them?
And PS you rock as always, and happy xmas or whatever-you-celebrate :D
Just thought maybe you'd like a little ego boost as thanks. ;)

Also a small idea - A feature they have at GJ that is really appreciated, especially with the RPers, is the ability to preview icons while writing comments. Not as in the browse option like here, but if you choose an icon, you see it, so you can flip through them easily. It helps massively if you have 2 or 300 icons. It actually helps even if you have 20 as you don't need to press an extra button or remember the name to choose the right icon. (Allows you to name them things like Laughing 1, 2, 3 and so on).
Keep making this a great site. :D
