Uh oh
Time may be to move to Greatest Journal if we want our rations of free, fan-driven pr0n.
Damn it.
ETA:
This issue is now on Slashdot. A little more surprisingly, it got picked up by Instapundit (who regularly reads Slashdot, but it's interesting that he picked this story).

Of course, since I post with logjam, I already have backups should it become necessary to ditch this popsicle stand in search of greener pastures. At least I already have a GJ account registered from the *last* kerfuffle -- but if the LJ crackdowns are really severe enough that vast numbers abandon ship, I find it hard to believe the witch-smellers wouldn't make every effort to hound them out of whereever they subsequently set up shop.
We'll just have to see. Interesting times, and all.
In the meantime, I've got stuff to write.

The truly humorous bit is I saw the link to liz-marcs at friggin' 4chan.
A-a-a-and SLASHDOT! Someone makes a good point about the robustitude of Usenet over these private websites, one, I think, that applies to Wikipedia (for instance, the webcomics kerfluffle). Private websites pale in comparison to shared protocols. GreatestJournal and LJ even use the same software, but can't share/crosslink comments, users and comms.
And the "if you don't like it, leave" trolls: the whole selling point of LJ is many users (both economy of scale and a critical mass of cool people to link to), user-generated content and comms. I wish the trolls would take the advice they often give in the same post: don't complain, code.
And it ain't over till pornish_pixies is back.

Then the fat lady has, indeed, sung. Still made an InsaneJournal, for redundancy's sake.
(Heard you tried to call me last night. Do so ASAP when you see this, and I might still be around.)
