Livejournal issues: If you can read this, you're on LJ
Congratulations, you managed to log on! Good for you! Long may it last...
This is what's going on:
DDoS attack: an organised attack where many (MANY) computers visit the same site, bringing the site down. Livejournal has many Russian bloggers (it's owned by a Raussian company, as you probably know) who write about political stuff. Some don't like that. Politics etc. Free word is under threat, be it political stuff or fandom stuff. :-P
Some links:
Livejournal accuse Russian State for DDoS attack

Some time ago, there was the problem with crossposting. Some of us got accounts on Dreamwidth. Mine is here. I've mirrored everything from this accout to that account, you can only see it if you're my friend there. This is JUST a precaution.
I'm not sure if I have one or two invites left, since Dreamwidth costs without it. Anyone else with invites to distribute for fellow LJ friends, if needs be?
