Rats deserting a sinking ship, anyone? Brad's out.
Brad, creator of livejournal, is leaving for Google because and SixApart might be looking for a buyer for their company.
You know, this actually might be why there hasn't been any response to the general outcry about the journal deletions, strikethrough being replaced by bold, etc. I mean, yes, fandom is making a huge stink but the creator of the site leaving is kind of bigger and definitely worse PR, overall. If everyone's too busy dealing with that to deal with fandom, then I can understand that -- though that still doesn't explain the idiotic comment screening or the fact that three of the four charities that got donations from the Permanent Account sale had ties to a Six Apart investor.
I don't think that I can start backing up my journal until I'm at uni, since it requires installing stuff, but here is a guide on how to do it. It'll let you transfer all your old entries to another journal, without having to do it by hand, which is incredibly time-saving.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brown_betty also has another useful entry on backing up LJ memories. In my case, I'm just going to go through them by hand and stick them up on my delicious account, I think.
At the same time, you can use Semagic to update multiple journals at once so as to maintain a nominal presence on LJ and test the waters of the other journaling sites.
If you want to keep up with people that are moving off LJ, try FeedReader for RSS purposes.
Edit:brad has his own post about it, wherein he says that it's not SixApart's fault that he's bored and some other things.

I knew you'd need a little bit to think over the logic of that.

If you'd like a hand at backing up, I promise I wont read entries. If it's not so urgent then don't worry, but I thought I'd offer.

And nah, don't worry, I can back up perfectly well on my own. But thank you for the offer!
