I do not want the new friend page design and will not be switching. If you force this on us I WILL leave. I've been here 10 years and I am a paid user with YEARS of paid time left. If you force me to leave by keeping this change, I will also be filing to get the money on my paid time left BACK!

And I WILL be calling in the morning to tell you this vocally.

LISTEN TO YOUR USERS FOR ONCE AND FORGET THIS NEW FRIENDS PAGE IDEA!! No one wants it!!

I agree - If this is forced on us I too will be cancelling my paid subscription with livejournal at the end of my year and heading over to Dreamwidth.

I'm gonna need a whole lot back - I bought a permanent account when they were selling them a few years ago. I am not happy about this crap. >:(

[sylar]

I completely agree. I stay on LJ with multiple paid accounts because of the customization that makes my LJ pretty/useful. If you take that away, I may as well move to Dreamwidth or another service.

What's their phone number, I'm gonna need some money back too, lol.

[softpaw]

The number I found is incorrect, I need to dig around more and find the correct one.

[truthmaker]

Agreed.

If this is forced on me I will be leaving.

Those Russians can kiss my ass and my money goodbye.

And please ask them what exactly is going on in their head when they see that NO ONE likes those "features" the introduce to destroy LJ. In my head, they just shrug, roll their eyes and give a shit about it... :(

[beatnik]

Agreed. I have a feeling LiveJournal will loose MANY longtime users if this change is forced.

LJ STAFF: does the phrase "go MySpace" ring a bell?

[sweet_charade]

As another 10-year LJ user, agreed. :/ I stuck around through all the terrible decisions made under SixApart back in the day, I stuck around through the DDoSing, I stuck around even though like 70% of my flist has migrated to dreamwidth... but if this is made mandatory I think it will be time to go.
