LJ - Looks Like You May Have Finally Got Rid Of My Loyalty.

debris4spikeI love LJ as it is - I hate the fact that they want me to lose my layout look on my f-list. One of the many things I hate about Facebook is the lack of personality. I pay LJ to have that - but looks like I will lose that soon.
Now they want me to change my password - shall I say, "Why?" - it's been good enough for the last 7 years, so why change it.
I think I will have to look into Dreamwidth - I wonder if I can take my LJ stuff there, as I have a few things only here and not elsewhere. Also I wonder about layout etc - any help from friends who are already there would be greatly appreciated (btw, do I still need an invite code thingy?)
I have actually commented on LJ's link and asked WHY (with caps lock!!) ... so maybe, like a few years ago this will all fizzle out. But somehow, I don't think so.

Well, I have set up the account - and now am having a go at importing my LJ overt there ... looks like I will have to do layout later, and decide whether I pay out for the account and the icons!
Then I will look into cross-posting.

Date: 2012-10-31 10:48 am (UTC)I added you to my DW so you should be getting a message about it soon. LJ is killing itself by all the changes and ignoring what the members like and dislike. They will end up losing everyone outside of Russia if this keeps up.

Date: 2012-10-31 09:24 pm (UTC)I still can't work out how to cross post to DW from here ... that is one thing I need to sort out. As you see I added you back - certainly not going to lose you in the shuffle!

About the password...that's weird. I didn't get a pm to change it.

Date: 2012-10-31 12:25 pm (UTC)I got the same message about changing my password. They wanted me to include a capital letter. Mine has lowercase and numbers. I've used it for four years with no problems. Now they want me to switch it. Not happy about that. Mine is random so it would not be easy to hack. I just get tired of LJ messing with everything we do without even talking to us about it and giving us a choice about it. They have ignored how unhappy most of us are with the changes and do what they want. We have paid accounts so we can arrange things the way we like. Soon it won't be worth the money.
Sorry, I didn't mean to rant. Just bugs me.

Date: 2012-10-31 03:41 pm (UTC)Yep, I just read sooner or later we're gonna have all this new version.
The only thing that bothers me is the scroll down page...that's pretty weird cause they made this big deal about lj cut and then they give us this. Pfff..
I just hope that this scroll thing will be deleted as soon as people start to protest.

Date: 2012-10-31 09:22 pm (UTC)I got the request to change my password - and ignored it!!
Yes, I love how mine is set up - style, freinds etc ... I set it up the way I want it ... I join you in the rant!

Date: 2012-10-31 01:19 pm (UTC)I ignored the current suggestion. They have not repeated it.
I can't be bothered getting excited about the current dash to Dreamwidth, to be honest, I got bored after the third of fourth time everyone said the same thing - 2 years ago, 3 years ago? I have an account there, I don't like it, it is clunky and a lot less user-friendly than LJ.
When everyone leaves LJ I will go back to spending my spare time knitting rather than on the internet, I think.

Date: 2012-10-31 09:18 pm (UTC)I have set up the DW account - but no, I'm here to stay, I hope! Yes a few years ago there was a panic, so hoping the same will happen ... basically I am staying put!

Date: 2012-10-31 09:31 pm (UTC)Did you mean transferring your journal entries? That's trickier, although again, something I apparently managed to do, so....
