purge!
of course it didn't crosspost this one. from DW:
the lovely and talented j00j gave me the idea to do this--so i have stolen some language from their post:
Thanks to Livejournal's security breech and failure to communicate it, I've removed LJ accounts from my access list, as well as Dreamwidth accounts that haven't updated in about 99+ weeks.
If you've been reading but not posting and have changed your DW password, let me know and I'll add you back!
(they had links to the LJ story--i do not.)
i know that some of you recently came over here from LJ--i didn't change your status, obviously, even if you've never posted here. i am still subscribed to most of you so that if you suddenly revive your DW account, i think i'll see it on my reading page.
this will crosspost to LJ. i'm going to do something similar over there though it might take a bit because i don't recall that LJ has a centralized area where i can see how long an account has been dormant, the way that DW does. and of course i can't stay subscribed if i unsubscribe you. but since this post will be my first public post in about three years, and since cross-posting is turned back on, if you come hunting my LJ to see what's up with me, hopefully i'll look active but locked down and you can drop me a note.
LJ only note: it is incredibly cumbersome--it might be quicker to just delete access to any filters or something though then you might get a note that i added you when actually, i restricted your access to public posts. i did delete some people, already, though. meh. we'll see--whatever i did, the password breach is why.
