rushthatspeaksSix Apart keeps being stupid.
I'm getting a Greatestjournal account as soon as I can figure out how to duplicate this journal over there given the current capacities of my browser/net connection.
But. I am not going to be leaving LJ entirely at this point, for several reasons:
1. I would lose touch with at least some people. I can't figure out how to prevent this from happening, and I can't consider that an acceptable consequence; I don't have the emotional detachment to do that.
2. It is more likely-- unlikely at this point, but *more* likely-- for Six Apart to pay attention to complaints from persons who are still actually using their site.
3. It was pointed out to me that, since I do not at the moment have a paid account (I let it lapse recently) and do not have ads in this journal, I am in essence using bandwidth without giving anything for it in return. I can go for that.
So, new policy: in the past, I've had anonymous parties give me paid journal time before, and I still don't know who they were. It was a very sweet gesture, and I enjoyed using the time when I had it.
Please don't do it again. I do not wish to be associated with giving any money to Six Apart at this time or in the foreseeable future. I will not be doing it myself. I will be putting this policy in my userinfo and will let people know if it ever changes.
And I'll let y'all know my Greatestjournal username when it's up.
