I'm not 100% sure I get what's going on. LJ is downsizing, and may shut down? Is that it? I'm no good with business jargon.

Oh, and this:

The quirky site, part blog and part social network, is best known for its users' weird obsessions - like the troublesome clique of Harry Potter erotica writers, whose outré tastes ran afoul of LiveJournal's efforts to comply with U.S. child-pornography laws. (Oddly, the site also gained a following in Russia, which led to its acquisition by Sup.) All that adds up to an environment even more distasteful to advertisers than the typical social site.

Seriously? That's what this site is known for? I didn't know that. I mean, I knew LJ got some shit for the Harry Potter slash, but...are we really ALL crazy perverts?

Lithuania's still in my room at Naz. Holy crap he must be cold.

He's freezing! Russia's probably going to show up and try to warm him up.

Thanks, I'll try that soon!

I just like seeing more people from Rochester in the comms I'm in!
