BECAUSE WE'RE EEEEVOL BITCHES WITH GRAND DELUSIONS OF A RIGHT FOR PRIVACY! Srsly, why can't we just shut up and given them our their money?
Yeah, I get that you're all tied up here. OTOH, if someone would pay your rent to a really nice house, but at some point the landlord decided to turn all the walls of your nice house to glass so that everyone could see inside your home... Hmm, you know what I mean?
Anyway, there's always the possibility of crossposting! :D
Hey, btw, I would really like to go for a drink or something before you move to West Germany in a few weeks! ;)
I'm very sure that people will stay even if LJ becomes a second FB. Because they're stuck in their ways and OMG IT'S SO HARD TO IMPORT CONTENT. I CANNOT POSSIBLY CHECK ONE BUTTON.
I'm still optimistic. Yesterday there were two entrys to the same effect on my flist; there are others, also on my flist, who still crosspost but are not active on failjay anymore...
So, sure, maybe nothing will get as big as eljay, but a good number of users are aware (and offended enough) and make the leap. I suppose it also depends on who you're hanging with and if the more popular ones move over to DW. I think it's still possible that DW becomes a new and better home to at least a part of fandom. FINGERS CROSSED.
I understand everyone who wants so much to change to DW but I think it is a pitty - gee, how long it took me to grow warm with LJ and create my circle of friends here...And now so many people speak about leaving. I'm just afraid we will lose this family feeling of this community here..
I for myself hid those cross-post possibilities from my LJ so they can't be used.
Anyway, may I ask you sth? I've tried to upload some pics on my DW account but the function doesn't allow me to upload it directly from my computer - LJ does. How do you upload your pics on DW?
My lj accounts is not going to go away. I think I just don't want to pay for the fuckups anymore. So I for one will use my paid account till it runs out and then very possibly keep it as free account to, you know, check up on lj comms and friends still exclusively on eljay.
And we can create (and part of fandom already has) a community over at DW just as well; it depends on no one else but us, the fans.
How do you upload your pics on DW? Uh, did a quick search and found this: "Scrapbook Photo Hosting - Scrapbook is unavailable for technical reasons; we hope to eventually add our own photo hosting service with better integration and usability." I'm uploading to and linking from an image hosting site (photobucket.com) anyhow so that's not a great loss for me. And maybe DW does add it some time in the future. :)

I mean, you know, the only ones who can make it more active are we, the users, right?

I'll stay, permanent account and all. It was a gift, I'd feel like secretly bringing it back to the store if I'd leave.

Good to know you'll be around, but then, DW isn't far either :)
