Meta / LJ: there are no DEPRESSED or BISEXUAL people on LJ, either!

[erestor]

PLEASE READ THIS ENTRY

It lists all the popular interests that LJ has erased from its "most popular" list - which would be

Sex, Boys, Guys, Girls, Fanfiction, Yaoi, Hardcore, Porn, Bondage, Faeries, Pain, Depression, and Bisexuality

This is not a joke. According to SUP/LJ, there are no people on LJ who are interested in sex, fanfiction, yaoi

According to Stewardess, "Faeries" can also be a term connected with bisexuality. So yes, it makes sense. And depression? I mean - WTF? I think this will end up being some "family friendly" place in the end, which can't work. LJ as a model to make a lot of money can't work, no matter what approach they take. It can pay the bills and the staff and the servers, but it can't make anybody filthy rich. Had 6apart and SUP bothered to take a closer look at the product they bought and tried to understand how LJ is working, they'd known that.

So yes, I guess LJ is going down the drain. I'm trying to find a solution where to go with my stuff; I love wordpress, but it makes interaction almost impossible, as it really is a blog, not a journal. InsaneJournal, on the other hand - well, it's a dead place as far as my fandom is concerned.

And please, please, please wait with deleting Galadhir until I've downloaded all your wonderful stories! :-( Just for my own pleasure, I won't distribute them. I love your writing. Give me a day or two or three, please? I'd be very grateful.

(Btw if you want to keep your fic and have it hosted somewhere, unconnected to your professional writing: just whistle. The JM is a large ship with lots of free hosting and unlimited bandwidth.)

So far I don't have the intention of giving up my journals; but I'll definitely won't renew them. I have the problem that most pictures here are hosted on scrapbook, so I had to move everything to my own website and THEN replace all picture codes. That's.... a lot of work! I've done it once with JM on wordpress, but 5 years Erestor?! Huh.

But I'll find a solution. It's sad, though, how our community gets destroyed.
