Jan 07, 2009 00:22

As you may have heard, there has been a number of layoffs in the San Francisco office, including the entire design team. I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you to everyone who has been a part of this community. I know a lot of times, it seemed like your comments weren't being read or heard, but believe me, they were. I promise you, I read every ( Read more... )

:( So sorry you (and others) are being laid off.
Thanks for all you have done.

Thank you for all your good work, and good luck. karisu_sama January 7 2009, 08:29:03 UTC

I'm sorry that LJ staff was cut, and I wish you the best of luck.

I don't know what to think about this latest move by LJ's current owners, but like hundreds of others today, I have archived my livejournal just in case something goes awry...

...I may be remiss in asking, because I'm not sure if I've done so before or not, but how do I go about backing up my journal in such a way?

Sorry to hear you are one of the "affected". I wish you luck and hope you move onto brighter things.

For 2008, it was thanks to the LJ Design Team that my opinion of the LJ admin improved. Upon hearing the news, my first thoughts were about this comm and all your efforts 'cause you guys have been awesome. Was looking forward to future projects and developments in that regard and now... D:

Thank you for all the time and effort and I hope things workout on the job front. While you may no longer be an employee, you're still a part of the community (and no matter how shitty stuff gets, I hope y'all stay)

*hug*

This means a lot. Thank you. Honestly, I think if I weren't directly involved, my first thought probably would have been "omg, what will happen to my journal!"

There've been too many changes with the management for me to panic over my journal from the get go nowadays >_> I hate it that design and marketing are the first to go when the economy takes a dive D: Don't have much enthusiasm about future developments on lj though *sigh*

I got lots of ideas from lj design and you will be missed.
I wish the new owners weren't making a "GreatestJournal" out of LJ it has been my main blog post for 4 years looks like it might be time to go to InsaneJournal.
