Just one more reason InsaneJournal rocks.

Squeaky has raised the friends limit again. Free users now get 1000 friends, and paid and permanent users now get unlimited friends.

Also, he's raised the link limit on S2 styles: free users get 15 links, paid users get 50 and permanent get 100.

*goes to add links to her IJ*

pay_no_more is a community for those of us who are dissatisfied with LJ/6A at the moment.

If you have a paid account, comment here.

If you have a permanent account, comment here.

If you have a free account, comment here.

And then go pimp these links in your journal. This should give us a nice impression of how many people will stop paying LJ/6A from now

I'm really excited about Scribblit, just like many of you. But someone just pointed out to me that Scribblit's servers are going to be located in Canada.Right. Now I'm not Canadian, nor am I a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that Canada's laws on underage fictional writing and art are a hell of a lot stricter than the US's. I've heard from Canadian ( Read more... )

What if those sweet little boys from South Park got screwed over by Livejournal....

Nuff said. *g*

Thanks to shaggirl, who dug up the link and asked a few questions: GreatestJournal has a history of suspending users over adult contentIn this case it was an adult-rated photograph of two men having sex which was posted unlocked by accident. It wasn't fanart, but given the response from GJ, suspension without question or appeal, I'm not too sure ( Read more... )

I asked the owner of InsaneJournal about the Google ads/user conflict, and here is his reply.

I have a question about the ads on IJ. Google specifically states in their terms that they won't allow Google ads on sites that host Pornography, adult, or mature content. A lot of what these new fandomers (myself included) are bringing to IJ ( Read more... )

A head's up on another ads/user conflict in the making over on InsaneJournal.

IJ has Google ads up on their website. But unfortunately, Google doesn't allow ads on sites that host adult content. From Google's terms on ads:

Sites displaying Google ads may not include ( Read more... )

Some linkies:

IJ has decided to increase the number of friends for free users to 250. I appreciate the gesture, really, but 250 is still not enough for me. Seriously. My flist on GJ is already 328 and there's still a ton of people I have to friend back. Why not just make 750 like on most other LJ-clone sites? Why this limit in the first place ( Read more... )

First, a few links.

femmequixotic has posted an open letter to Livejournal and Six Apart, which covers just about all questions that apply to fandom.

Here's an excellent post from a former lj user, which puts things in perspective: The terrible secret of Livejournal. I urge everyone to read it, even if it seems this article's on LJ/6A's hand at first. It ( Read more... )

OMG. So many words, so little meaning.

Okay, let me see if I get what they're saying. Anyone posting sexual explicit art with fictional characters that might in some way be interpreted as underage are basically fucked when someone reports them. Locked/private post or not, you're fucked.

And they say this about fiction:
