When LiveJournal, Inc., was launched in December the new team made it very clear that LiveJournal was going to change. We also said that we would respect the values and legacy of LiveJournal. But, we can’t ignore the fact that as LiveJournal nears its second decade it needs to make some business decisions

Thank you for at least being honest.

[speck]

aroo? As in "We're doing stupid things and we don't know how to stop so we're going to keep doing them" sort of way?

[ex_calicoey]

Um, didn't you already get your 2 cents of wank in in the first post (and then the subsequent 9 or 10 responses you made to your own post)? I think they get it. Nothing will ever satisfy you.

[faerieshadows]

I can't hear anything else over the sound of how awesome you are.

[adarkheartdawns]

BAHAHAHA.

[jonesaholic]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[ex_calicoey]

LOL, thanks......it looks like some attention whores tried to steal your adoration with "really loud laughing". I feel so threatened!

[faerieshadows]

I didn't notice.

BTW, saw you got metaquoted over all this wank. That's some funny shit!

[ex_calicoey]

Yeah, but to be fair, they make it so easy!

[lemau]

I am so totally yanking that. Best. Comment. Ever.

Why didn't you apologize?

[thevelvetsun]

Also, I don't see the word "sorry" in this post. You lied to us and you insulted our intelligence. We deserve an apology, at least.

Also, I hope you realize that this "business decision" is only going to help you in the short term. In the long term, people will see that LJ is just like every other site out there, run by a greedy business team. New users won't come in such large numbers. Old users will continue to be upset with the way the site is run, and they will continue to leave. Pretty soon there won't be much content left (or it will all be crappy MySpace content) and LJ will suffer. The users, and the owners, will suffer. We see the writing on the wall. Do you?

What are you talking about? I've had my LJ account for about 7 years now and have never had a problem with it. I post, I read, I keep up with friends...what's to bitch about?

Re: Why didn't you apologize?

[thevelvetsun]

Just because you're 100% satisfied doesn't mean we all are....

Re: Why didn't you apologize?

[deanne]

Again, what's to be dissatisfied about? You want an LJ employee to type your messages for you? Or maybe read your friends list to you? How is your enjoyment of your journal or lack thereof LJ's responsibility?

Re: Why didn't you apologize?

[thevelvetsun]

Why do you care what I'm not satisfied about? I'm paying for a service, and I expect certain things from that service. My dissatisfaction isn't enough to make me leave, but the way things have been going, someday it might be.

I'm dissatisfied that LJ has chosen to censor its content. I'm dissatisfied that LJ management has continually refused to communicate clearly with their customers. I'm dissatisfied that now I can no longer create Basic accounts. I'm dissatisfied that I still have to see those stupid Snap previews even when I'm logged in, because they're ugly and annoying and they take forever to load.

There. Are you happy? Or would you like more?

Why yes, I am happy

[deanne]

Well I guess since I don't run around creating basic accounts and I've never experienced any censorship and I know there's a way to turn off the snap previews all I can do is look at you, shake my head and remind myself that some people need to find something to be unhappy about...have fun!
