I've removed a bunch of accounts from my friends list, mostly long-dormant accounts as well as (on a few occasions) people that have still been active relatively recently but that I've neither interacted with in ages nor feel any particular connection to ( Read more... )

Looks like LJ is actually trying to recruit new users again (and not just in Russia and other Eastern-European countries). Here Here is a new video ad they put out recently:
