[ how does it feel like ]

[winterlive]

lj posted a response to our rage. as usual, it is a bunch of double-speak bullshit. burr's not the first lj staffer to call us idiots (please note post date). this list of conflicting statements issued by lj staffers was apparently insufficient to warrant fixing, as they just keep doing it.

you expected different, maybe? you expected them to treat us like customers instead of annoyances? no.

in other news, i've been considering ways in which we could mark the occasion. given this much misery, some form of fandom love-in seems in order. plus there's always parties to have! we are in desperate need of fun, people.

there is j2 at the beta. i'm debating how to host it - i SERIOUSLY do not want to put it on LJ, not directly. and i refuse to flock, because fuck that. HM. this is a bicky basil. suggestions?

ooh, eta: jf has a journal called rename_me where you can just request a rename for your jf account if you need it. no money down!

Dearest, you do remember that you have a whole...subdomain? *brows furrow*

(And um, I might've been working on something for the fandom love-in situation, but it will not get hardcore going until I'm back from VVC. *g* You should come talk to me about it!) Later that is. When I am not about to sleep, yes.

i know, angelface! but, like, i don't know if i wanna host it on a website, or on another journaling service, or if i'm jumping the gun on the whole alterna-hosting thing. if i should just crosspost it everywhere. *hands!*

OOO we will talk. i am in FAVOR of love.

Didja hear the latest news?

They're refusing to ban Pro-Ana comms because they're harmless, but erotica w/a 17-20 year old Harry Potter is destructive to the max.

Plz to be bringing in some Earth Logic for the silly humans using the service? O.O;;

i heard. it's endless retardation.

I come back from vacation and find out LJ's got their heads up their asses again.

And the best part...? The bit where there are allegedly people who make or influence policy responding to users in the comments - but not identifying themselves as LJ staffers at all.

Lord. I don't even know how to explain to half my flist why I want to leave, since they see this as a Fandom Entitlement Issue and not as LJ being asinine.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

dude, i linked to that post in my post. :)

seriously, there's a list up there of places livejournal has contradicted itself on policy. i would suggest you point your flist there.

I'm so glad that all of this is happening on my vacation because if I were actually front and center for all this madness, I'd be deleting all my journals and gafiating from the entire goddamn mess. As it is, I'm tempted. And entirely glad that I got a JF account when I did since it looks like I'm going to be using it sooner than I expected.

HEY, YOU. vacations are for fun and games, you just remember that. :D

and! fic soon! with boys and their boyparts!

[robanybody.livejournal.com]

And long talks with you! :-*

w00t! I cannot wait for boys and their boyparts. :D
