Current mood: yeah, still kind'a ticked

Right, then!
Okay, for everyone who's cheesed off at LJ and promised they're not getting another shiny cent from us? Fandom is recommending an alternative for what to do with aforementioned shiny cents.



Over 30,000 people have now joined [info]fandom_counts. How many more users took a stand and withdrew all financial support from LJ/SixApart over the incident? If everyone who vowed not to renew their paid account, everyone who swore to give LJ and SixApart no more of their pennies in the form of extra userpics, or virtual gifts, or more storage - what if all those people took that money and instead donated it to charities for the prevention of child abuse and sexual assault?

Well, that'd be something, wouldn't it.

Strikethrough '07 --> now follow through! --> Strikeback '07

I just donated what would have been my paid account renewal for the next year to RAINN (the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network, which has been called one of America's Top 100 charities). Feels better than mindlessly forking over my hard-earned dollars to the Six Apart Thought Police. ♥

That's a really good idea....

I know that they're not getting anything from me from a permanent account...but then, I can't afford one of those, anyway. =P

You know, before this little dust-up I was actually considering it.

Now I'm looking at other online journal options - and also considering just putting blogging software on my own web space. Yeah, wouldn't get the same kind of community, but ... *shrug*

Me, too. But seeing as how I don't have $150 to blow on a permanent account, anyway...what're you gonna do? *shrug*

I'd really miss you here, as selfish as that might sound...I like being able to leave you feedback, since I don't get a chnace to speak to you on AIM as much anymore. But I was also considering another journal source, maybe GJ, if LJ went under.

Just because the apologies are being made...won't stop me from archiving my entries. =P

Though I have to say, if I switched out, it would be bittersweet...4 years on this particular site, a bunch of friends that I didn't ncessarily intend to make...man...
