And now a short message...
Dec. 22nd, 2011 09:23 pmThe combination of LiveJournal's release of the bombshell that was Patch 88 and Igrick's arrogance finally drove me out. Blessedly, the nice folks at DreamWidth were quite friendly and welcoming. Setup thus far has been relatively painless. Those of you who are DW users, please pipe up so I can get you added properly over yonder. Those of you who're OpenID users, let me know that too. What the hell, let's party, eh? :)
I'm going to continue to monitor things here, have no fear. Far too many things still going on here. But all of the posts will be cross-posts from the DW account, and when the paid time here expires in May LJ isn't very likely to get any more of my hard fought for money. I simply no longer trust them. Between the arrogance of certain folk in the CoC, and the constant DDoS attacks and the fucked up patches that everyone hates but are expected accept [10,000 voices hated Patch 88 in Beta and they rolled it out -anyway-. Thanks, Igrick, you arrogant bastard.] I no longer feel comfortable funding LJ.
Eleven years. That's how long I've been with LiveJournal. A long time. I've been patient, I've been generous, I've been forgiving. And now I've been pushed too far. Sorry.
