I'm trying not to panic about the suspensions of pornish_pixies and other communities, but I'm pausing to mourn all the fic and art that's going to be lost if those communities don't come back

i think this is a call to archive everything asap. i already backed up my lj, but i think that maintainers of comms might want to look into this as well.
I put some of my writing in lock down, but not my older HD. They are 16/17 in it, equal in age and not out having nasty snarly sex. People can deal. Plus, how would my remixer read it if I locked up shop? :)
My husband says to ask what religious affiliation they are connected with and whether or not they believe homosexuality to be a sin against god. *sigh*
yeah, i did. there's a software called ljarchive [which i'm sure you can find through google] that you install and it downloads your entire lj, comments and all, to your harddrive. not that i think i'm a target for deletion, but you can never know and i'd rather not lose fours years of posts.
i locked two of my fics as well, but i'm certainly not going to lock all my higher-rated fics.
grrrrr. i'd be very suprised if they didn't have some sort of religious motivation for this.
I can't seem to get lj archive software to open on my Mac, but I'll try later when I have a little more time to investigate.
There is something called LJ Book, which turns your lj into a pdf document that I've backed things up to in the past, but the server seems overloaded at the moment.
I'm not too worried about SL or hd100 being deleted, esp. since one of the other SL mods is on the lj abuse team, but having a back-up would be great just in case.

yes, i looked at that, too. i don't like pdf files so i didn't go that route.
i totally agree. you can also never know if lj's servers might not have a meltdown someday...
