The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I was thinking today... and came to the conclusion that I think the reason why the stuff happening with LJ bugs me so much is because it reminds me of what happened to FF.net and I hate it when I see good websites go bad.

( Cut because it gets long )

So really Strikethrough parts 1 and 2 really are just the tip of the iceberg. Honestly I was surprised when it first happened, although the things I've listed made me unhappy with LJ, I still had faith in them.

Not anymore.

Now, I do plan on keeping my LJ since so many friends are here and so much of every fandom is here as well, but I've also been making plans on attempting to get fractions of fandom set up else where.

I would have started by now but I discovered Scribblit earlier today and from what I've seen it's going to be the best place to move too (it has the best free account features so those with paid LJs won't have to pay for another journal to get a lot of icons features and the owner I've spoken to seems very cool).

Unfortunately Scribblit is only in the beta phase right now and not open for new accounts, which is why I haven't gone through with my plans of setting fandom up else yet. It's suppose to be open soon though and if anyone wants to keep up with the status of Scribblit they can go to twocorpses. The most info about the site can be found in this post (Seishirou would approve, there's a penguin in the logo).
