Oh goodness. Long story. The short version is that LJ started deleting journals and communities that posted fan art and fan fiction that they deemed "obscene" for various reasons. They did it without any warning or giving the users a chance to remove the material or anything. It was really scary and everyone in fandom was flipping out because they had no idea if suddenly their journal was going to be deleted or what. So there was a big stink and LJ didn't make any statement or offer any explanation for the users for 2 or three days. Basically there was a solid 72 hour period during which all the users just went ballistic. It was insane. That was the end of May. Then at the beginning of August, they did it again. They tried to be sneakier about it, failed massively, and everyone got mad again. A lot of people downgraded (if that's a word) their accounts and/or left completely. People were really upset. I think I still have my original posts up with links and such. I'd like to leave altogether, but a bunch of my friends are

Apparently they also got thoroughly hacked. J3st3r, the same one who hacked Runes of Magic (by rumor only, mind). I had heard about it during the meantime. Hackers are targeting Facebook primarily now, since it's had half a billion dumped into it. --Glenn 8]
