We are indebted to our current and past advisory members for donating their time, expertise, and passion to help steer the direction of LiveJournal. We could never have gotten

I especially appreciated our silent user representatives.

I'm fond of the "big name" advisory board members who were completely silent as well.

I'm not sure why this board was created in the first place. But why not 'retire' it, considering it never did anything to begin with?

LiveJournal users aren't stupid and don't appreciate being treated as if they are. Many of us have been here for years and are very familiar with the beginnings of LJ. We'll continue to expect LiveJournal to HEAR our suggestions, HEAR our needs and RESPOND to us. That's simply good customer service, after all.

And many of us do PAY for this service, so it's reassonable to want to be heard.

That's all I have to add to what's already been said by very observant people...

expect? Wish, perhaps...

Translation: LiveJournal in English is dying so we don't give a shit.

On the bright side, they're announcing an end to sham elections.
