Rats deserting a sinking ship, anyone? Brad's out.

Brad, creator of livejournal, is leaving for Google because and SixApart might be looking for a buyer for their company.

You know, this actually might be why there hasn't been any response to the general outcry about the journal deletions, strikethrough being replaced by bold, etc. I mean, yes, fandom is making a huge stink but the creator of the

Link to brad's actual post about it, hon. Valleywag is a gossip rag, and Brad's been planning to leave for MONTHS.

XD I only read his post afterwards (and commented with a thank-you-and-goodbye), but yeah, he's being very gracious about it. Then again, a lot of people pointed out that you just don't burn your bridges behind you when moving on. *definitely didn't think he was moving because of fandom, but did think that the timing might be what's keeping SA busy*

And yay, sinfest icon! Whee! I love Percy to bits. XD *goes to change link while being patted on the head*

Sorry. I'm getting overly snippy and I know it. There are just way too many rumors floating around, and it's grating on my nerves. I'm sorry, I didn't meant to be bitchy. ♥

XD I only have one other Sinfest icon, but I rarely use it. (I got to when some uber-religious chick told me to get some cock last week, though!)

S'okay! I tossed the link in how -- I probably should've done an edit sooner, but I'm still technically at work and easily distracted by comments.

I wish I knew the truth behind the rumor about SixApart pulling out. I don't think it's likely, but even if it isn't, I want to know what started it.

Awwwwwww. I have a sinfest icon that's not loaded up here of the devil fanboy, who is my absolute favorite. (Argh, I remember that. I think I left you an F-wordful comment about her incredible stupidity and then never replied to your reply because I couldn't think of anything except how much I hated what she'd said.)

I'm at work too, and totally distracted in a way I shouldn't be. XD

I wish I knew the truth too. My usual response to shit like this is "wait and see." We'll find out eventually, and it's not like I don't have a back up journal if I need it. (And I've seen plenty of non-fannish people going "what are you blabbing on about this time?" so there are people who will stick around 'cause they don't care.)

On the sinfest feed, they post up the occasional icon in the comments. I sort of want a devil one, because the devil is AWESOME.

[fickle_goddess]

I'm about to leave work now, though! YAY! But no Internet at home, most likely, boo.

And I am so totally impatient, I hate having to wait and see. Plus, I can't back up my journal because computer at home is still half-broken and computer at office won't let me install stuff, so I'm a wee bit worried. And my non-fandom friends are also rather "..." about the whole thing, but willing to RSS me to keep up.

Ahhhh. I make my own, usually, but those icons are cute too. And the devil isn't quite as cute as his fanboy, alas!

[ryuutchi]

I'm being a total slacker and not shelving books the way I should be.

Most fannish people seem to be very "...meh" about the whole thing, so it still stands to be seen how much of fandom is really doing to pick up and leave when they're non-fannish friends aren't.

The two I have here I made on my own. XD The devil's just a pimp, though.
