Laying staff off doesn't automatically equal an end to LJ, but it's not a good sign.

I have begun to look at archiving all my stuff here, I have a lot of history on this site and it will be helpful in proving mine and frogs relationship!

but if they go down we'd be right at the bottom of a pile of people wanting money back for services not received...or have i got things wrong?

Yeah I'm not particulary pleased with this news I must say X_x

[djpsyche]

That is terrible news :(
I've a paid account too! Not my fault!
I'd rather see ads though than have the whole thing shut down :(

The numbers there are wrong, for one. LJ staff say it's 13 lost, mostly in SF, 17 remaining. They've just spent a large amount of money moving the servers out of SF, too.

The insiders don't currently reckon the site will die, but it won't evolve or grow. $30 million was a stupid amount to pay for it, really.
