With the recent economic downturn there are a lot of businesses that are in trouble out there. They can't get loans to pay their bills, and are unable to keep running in the red. It seems that even the site that started all of this, LiveJournal, has been having problems. I want to write here in this space to let you know that IJ isn't going anywhere. And we are able to handle another influx of users if that needs to happen.
I have always taken pride in being able to keep this site running in the black. And between the ads that run on the site and the various paid accounts and rename tokens that all of you continue to purchase, we are able to stay that way. We do not have any debt to pay off nor do we have any investors that we need to keep happy. While we have felt this economic downturn ourselves, we are only affected in that we are unable to keep building a cash reserve, but we are still able to pay the bills every month.
Hopefully this will reassure you that we are not going anywhere, and I have no intention of shutting down or reducing the services on InsaneJournal at any point in the foreseeable future.

Thank you.

Yay Squeaky!
plus, you know you can always do another permenant account sale, if you need funds :D
I bought two permenant accounts (personal and fanfic) during the big sale, and I'm so glad I did :D
I think not.
Thank you! I wish you continued (and increasing) success.

Thanks for all you do with keeping the site up and running, and keeping us in the loop.
I'm really pleased that you are not going anywhere. IJ is my blogging home.
I do have to admit that I'd miss LJ if it did go down the tubes as I visit a lot of communities there, but if it did go down then the fandoms would have to go somewhere wouldn't they?. ^_^
