Refugees of LJ is an asylum created for IJ users who have left LJ, or are considering leaving LJ. Because of recent unrest over on Livejournal, more and more users are migrating their way over to Insanejournal. However, many may find starting over in a new journal to be a daunting task.

This asylum is designed to create a community of users who are considering moving their journals, or who have previously taken the plunge. Helpful topics would include the best ways to transfer journals, finding old friends (and indeed, new ones too!), positive feedback, tips and tricks for getting started at IJ, and perhaps sharing stories with users who understand what you went through.

This, of course, is only the parameters set out for a new community. Come, join and make this a truly safe haven for those who felt forced from their previous internet home.

Rules are fairly basic:

1. Stay courteous and keep cussing to a minimum.

2. Do your best to stay on topic! You can always open another thread if you wish to continue your tangent.

3. Despite the name of the asylum and it's stated goals, any and all members are welcome. Even if you were not a member of LJ. This is providing you are there to help new members make the adjustment and find new friends.

4. I reserve the right to ban members for multiple infractions, and to add to or change the rules as needed. I will make any changes known to you before implementing them.

Any comments questions or concerns may be directed at either here or at my personal journal. My e-mail address can be found at both places, as well.

Thank you for joining! Together we can make a community that can act as a stable base for new IJ members.

This is based off of every welcome meme you've ever seen, I am sure. Don't worry, it's not mandatory!

Basically I want you to:

1. Post a comment to this thread and tell us your name. User name or real name, what ever is most comfortable to you

2. Something about yourself that you think is interesting. Do you dance, sing, write, draw, or tell some funny jokes? Let us know a little about you.

3. Your top three interests. These don't necessarily have to be the same interests in your profile.

4. (This is for my own research) How did you find this Asylum?

5. What are you most hoping to get out of this community?

6. Why did you leave Livejournal? If you can't pick a specific reason, then how about a date? Or what was the one thing that broke the camel's back?



It's a painless questionnaire, I assure you! I just want to get to know the people who are joining. As always, any comments, questions, concerns or feedback can be commented on in a mod post, or to my e-mail address.
