but i'm happy that you're excited about doing something new.

It's all about stages.

Very few social networking sites stay around. If they do, they become more and more niche. Take a look at MySpace. They once had 160 million active users. Now it is 60 million.

I remember when LiveJournal had 8 million active users. Less than 2 million update now -- and those that do have probably had their account for years. As a platform, the technology isn't evolving. SUP isn't innovating. LiveJournal now has less mass appeal than it used to.

Remember Yahoo! Groups? It too is in a malaise. And Usenet is nowadays only being used for porn and files.

i know...but i still value it and have met some wonderful people who haven't defected.

i have no lifetime agreement with it.
in time, who knows.
everything changes.

idc if i get comments or even get people to read my lj. All I care is somewhere on the internet I can rant about shit, have privacy options (friends, filtered friends, etc), and have it not get back to me. I always end up losing paper journals, but Ive had my lj for 8 years and it aint going anywhere.
