(no subject)
I'm trying to figure out what to do with this journal.
On one hand it's a question of should I stay or should I go?
This goes beyond the recent shenanigans that have gone on with the admin here at LJ, but I will say that it makes it harder.
I want to start using my blog (this one or a new one somewhere else)in a more real way, none of this posting random shit because I can. I this a lot of it comes from the fact that I'm about to graduate and leave this amazing place and city and I'm scared of loosing so much - a way of thinking and seeing things that I've really taken for granted.
I think my dilemma is split in two parts, the first being whether or not I stay here.
Pros:
- I already have an established community here that I don't want to lose touch with
- I understand and am comfortable with the way LJ works
- I like my user name! (ha ha)
Cons:
- The badness that's been happening with the admin
- Are users going to start leaving because of it?
- I have no idea which other blog site to go to if I did leave
In the grand scheme of things, I'd like to stay here. Current readership aside, I want to stay in touch with everyone and I want to meet more people.
Part two is what to do with this place if I do stay. I want to start fresh. Whole new layout and purge old entries. The only problem is that I don't want to delete these old entries, just make them all private, but to do this I need a paid account...
In reality, I plan on really making use of this space and I don't mind paying the $25 to make the changes, but at the same time I recognize it means giving into the man (the man already causing me a lot of grief about staying in the first place)
Do I stay, pay the man and breathe all new life into this place?
Or do I start again somewhere else?
All I really know is that I'm ready to start again. There's a lot to do...
