Where is the option for

"Until three days ago I was never here, but now that you're back I'll be here every day." ??

That's what I pick. Of course, that's probably just me. :)

Re: Where is the option for

[slammerkinbabe]

I AM STARTING A LJ REVIVAL, EVERYONE IS GOING TO COME BACK NOW BECAUSE OF ME, λ IS JUST THE BEGINNING

(and omg your Veggie Tales icon! OH ICONS)

(I might make some more icons tonight actually, I need an icon for talking about pregnancy and all of my most recent icons, added over the last few years, are just ones I got from other people. I think I need to go back to original icons.)

(Also I thought Λ made a capital λ. It doesn't.)

[slammerkinbabe]

THEY ARE DEFINITELY ALL COMING BACK, DO IT DO IT

...or you could hold off. But having icons is SO FUN and I'm so glad I have a permanent account! *goes to make more icons*

[lietya]

I actually wish I'd gotten a permanent account, so I wouldn't feel vaguely guilty every year paying LJ ~$40 for all my icons etc.

But I still do it. :)

[slammerkinbabe]

I am extremely, extremely lucky that I won a permanent account, because there's no way I'd have paid for one, and then all my icons would be gone by now and I would be sad.

I think I found you in the first place through my membership in a community that consisted solely of links to lj polls.

Also, you left out the waning of nekkidparts communities. Thus, xtube killed LJ.

[slammerkinbabe]

LOL That makes sense as a way that someone would find me.

I actually never even knew LJ ever had a lot of nekkidparts communities, but it makes total sense that it would and that xtube and its ilk would play a role in its demise. Free porntubes really shook things up.

In my experience, what killed LJ was all those weird site design updates that made nearly every other person on my flist migrate to Dreamwidth. (Then a year or so later, we all started moving to Tumblr. Now Tumblr has started rolling out weird site design updates. So it goes.)

[slammerkinbabe]

I think I missed some of the weird site design updates. All I know is it's different now than it was -- though maybe not as much as I would have expected. It still feels fundamentally like LJ. Tumblr, on the other hand, is cray. I think LJ is the best-run social media site I've ever been on. Which is actually kind of an astonishing indictment of the other ones.

I wonder how Dreamwidth is doing these days.

[lienne]

Dreamwidth is doing pretty great as far as I can tell! It remains solidly "like LJ if LJ had made way better decisions about which parts of its site design to improve and how", and my DW reading list is more active than my LJ friendslist by a noticeable amount.

[slammerkinbabe]

Really? Very interesting. I thought long-form blogging had had its day. I'd say that I might make a DW and crosspost there but I don't know which of my old friends might have gone over there and what their usernames might be, and it's the old friends I miss.
