I iz confused as well...I've seen no references to anything going on with LJ. Then again, I'm not terribly observant.

Hope your first day goes well!

From what I know (which is very little... my fandom haunts are not on LJ), the company that owns LJ has started "taking a stand" against underage porn and banned some fan artists without warning (I believe they drew Harry/Snape with Harry in his late teens). There is a whole thing going on about what constitutes child porn (in art and fic) and some other things I wasn't sure of. Whole censorship and consistency (people want to know why they are banning art and leaving other "harmful" comms alone) issues going on. I don't know nearly enough about the circumstances to have an opinion about it... have likely misunderstood something or other. :p A lot of people are mass-migrating to other journaling services. This makes me sad 'cause most are eighteen and over only. :/

That may or may not have been what you were talking about. ;p

Yeah, that's the gist I'm getting around LJ. Thanks for your input, it helps. It sounds like a big, huge mess.

I also have seen reports of anti-pedophile groups going after LJ, etc. It is a HUGE mess...
