what happened to livejournal?

May 26, 2010 17:08

so, I've been gone for a while, as you may or may not know, things have been hectic for both good and bad reasons for over a year now.

I come back, and try to catch up on friends' posts, and I noticed that the friends page now only has one page, no link any more for "next 25 / previous 25" etc. Am I missing something or did they take that away?

Damn Russians.

Sidenote: It could be your template, cause I no longer have a paid membership, but I can go back as far as I want...

weird. It used to work. I guess I'll get rid of the template and see if it fixes it.

Well, I played with the template, and I got the previous/next 20 links to show up again. however, only the first page has any posts.

I changed the template.
Same thing.

It's the damn twitfacespace, ruined a perfectly good social networking system.

Regretfully, I don't use this thing as much as I should. It isn't that I like LJ people any more or less, or even the site itself, but there is so much to read through on facebook anymore that I am already pretty burned out of social network sites by the time I read to the point where I last left off.

I still come back here and read every once in a while, but definitely not as avidly as I used to :(

I understand completely. I hadn't been here in a while either.

I came back because I was craving more than just a soundbite from friends, and had more to say than what the other sites allow. Facebook in particular seems to have become a pit of negativity that really depresses me. I'd delete it but you can't these days.

Facebook and Twitter seem to be where the people are, negative or not, so if you have any interest in doing business on the internet, you have to be there. Its also where the people are, and if I deleted it, there are many people I probably would never have heard from ever again.
That being said, yeah, it's a social overload.

For now though, I think LJ is going to be for me, facebook for my networking, and twitter for quick alerts and goofing around.

BTW good to hear from you.
