May I ask what was in the terms that was not good? I was confronted with a tick box at midnight when trying to check something and I hit it. Now I have no idea how to find them.

Very short and condensed version, you're agreeing to adhere to Russian laws. And we all know how shitty those are when it come to LGBT rights. If you're outside Russia they can't come after you for anything, but they can still mess with the site and blogs any way they see fit to do.

Here's the English version: http://www.livejournal.com/legal/tos-en.bml

Can the forum be moved to Dreamwidth? I'd hate to see it go (for years I've posted on DW and cross-posted to LJ; this forum has been one of the few reasons I've kept my LJ going).

I've been a lurker, but am moving to DW too.

It can. :) We definitely don't want to let the comm die. Don't worry! Unovis will let you know soon.
