GJ, IJ

[foudebassan]

I'm foudebassan over at GreatestJournal and have just reserved foudebassan on InsaneJournal as well. Feel free to friend, but I won't be updating either for the time being.

I don't really know what to do about this boldegate. Mostly, I stand by what I said back in Strikethrough, but if everyone is leaving LJ I'll leave too, talking to oneself alone in a corner is like being on blogspot or in a lunatic asylum, ie, no fun at all. GJ looks a lot like LJ, but it bans obscenity, and what fun are conversations when they don't include passing mentions of bare male arses every now and then? IJ is said to be more perve- fandom-friendly, but a) I don't want to discuss fandom 100% of the time and b) aren't their servers too weak to deal with our wanking, in both the literal and metaphorical senses?

So, for now, am being a sheep. Baaaa. Tell me where you go and I'll follow.

No - that means they're the ones who decide that lots of paying fandom members will be migrating to nicer places. :p

According to lysa1, the owner of IJ said no obscene content would be deleted from there without a court order. I'm waiting a bit to see if they'll change their TOS.

Yeah, I heard that, too. Of course he`ll be glad to open his arms to thousands of fandom members (and his pockets too for all the money they bring). GJ on the other hand said they won't have porn over there.

I'm for the option fandom_flies suggested to open a own mega-archive and blog. But that will cost a lot of money and we'd lose a lot people. Not all are ready to leave LJ.

I'd go with that option if the only thing I had to do was pay for it (no glitches, no obscure html work). Basically I'm a sheep on this - I'll let the others decide and then I'll follow.
