What but weren't we in the grounds of fair use? Didn't lj tell us we could STAY once?

I take it there is no chance to get the commuinty back? Because ij isn't going to cut it since some people won't even go there. Fucking lj.

According to the message we got, we're in violation of LJ's ToS, so fair use is sort of beside the point. The odds are against us getting scans_daily back, but we're in contact with Abuse.

If it's fair use you can argue that it's for review purposes and therefore really not a copy right violation.

If it was PAD? I'm never buying any of his books again.

Sounds like that's a plan then. See above.

Major suckage. Sorry to hear it. If you need help backing things up, check out ljbackup.pl. Though, I can't find whether or not is grabs communities.

LJarchive is another good bet, and it grabs communities. I don't know how well it imports them to other journaling services, but I've been able to use it to grab posts that had been deleted because a guy who was in that comm got suspended before.

The description on this site does talk about importing them to other systems, though I've never done that part before.

Hell... I didn't really give a toss about American comics until I started going through Scans_Daily. I'm pretty sure quite a few other people expanded their reading range too because off scans_daily. My word, this is disappointing. Thank you for the update... I found out when I was clicking the "Back" button on the browser and just thought LJ had stuffed up or something but then panicked...

Oof. What the kerfuffle is up with that? Thanks for the FAQ in any case.

Well that suck, I'm going to miss scans_daily. :(
