LJ Reliability
Hmmm... so there's a rumour of sorts doing the rounds that can be summarised as LJ is likely to become unreliable shortly and vanish in due course.
I'll admit to a certain dark amusement at the thought of bringing LJ (and possibly places like LJ Book) down simply by engendering a round of panic-stricken backing up (NB. More strictly backuppy services exist than LJ Book, I just like turning my LJ into a book once a year - some alternative back up tools are linked to in the rumour post above and its comments) however I would hate to be the person sitting there smugly going "didn't you know?" so I'm passing on the rumour and leave it to you, gentle reader, to decide the level of panic that is appropriate.
