It will be sad to see this journal go if you do decide to change, but I will follow you where ever you go. You just have to do what is right for you, that will benefit the most. *trails after you like a puppy*
If you think it's for the best, then I would definitely support you in making a new account. And from what I've read, I really do think it'd benefit you to make a new account.
Since you don't want to loose the comments, would you consider keeping this lj and just making a whole bunch of posts private? I did that on mine after I had some RL drama over LJ (with a f-list cull and comm cull thrown in there), and now it's a f-locked journal and I have my fic posted to a different place. If you wanted to kind of reinvent yourself away from SPN it wouldn't be hard to get a new layout etc.
I just think that since you're going to have to track through old posts and your mems anyway, this could be a little easier for you.
I appreciate the alternate idea, but there's some stuff that I want to get away from on this journal, too. Also, I kinda hate my username, and don't care to spend as much as needed to change the name. My current tagging system is noneffective, so this will allow me to change it easier.
There are three main things that made me hesitant just to do it: 1. My Sam and Dean Minibang. I don't want that to become unavailiable, so I'll have to contact a mod to see if it would be okay to repost it with the 2011 minibang tag in my new journal. 2. My Userpics. I have 4 more months of 15 extra userpics. I can't transfer that over. 3. A few of my friends. I don't know if certain friends of mine will want to re-add me.
I think I might be doing it anyways. I figure, I can't make someone be my friend, and if someone doesn't want to re-add me, they probably weren't my friend to begin with.
You could always lock this one down and make posts private rather than delete it (or use it as a fic journal). You can have a sticky post, or make a note at the top of each page that you've changed accounts and your username is now ... That way your bang will still be available, and you can still come back and reminisce over comments etc. You could cross post the fics you still want people to have access to at your new accounts with the new and improved tagging system. IDK, just thinking aloud :)
And, seriously, if anyone doesn't want to re-add you, they're probably a jerk. And you don't want jerks on your f-list anyway, right? Right.
I wanna keep in touch with you! Since I'm not online often anymore, I'm scared I'm gonna miss when you switch to a new account. Please *puppy eyes* email or PM me when you move? (as you can probably tell, I understand/agree with moving on to a less unwieldy LJ experience)

I'm thinking that I would benefit as well.
