Farewell, LJ

[offcntr]

When I moved my blog over to Dreamwidth from LiveJournal, I had a few followers who hadn't made the transition yet. Since I didn't want to lose them--there's few enough of yez--I set up to automatically crosspost there whenever I put up something new here. Tonight I was poking around in my DW inbox, and found a whole bunch of "crosspost failed" messages. going back to April 7. When I try to visit the page, I find this message:

Suspended Journal
This journal has been suspended. Its contents are no longer publicly visible. LiveJournal cannot discuss the reasons for a journal suspension with anyone except the journal owner.

There's also a whole bunch of messages in the inbox there that I can't access, so I have no idea what happened. I suspect the account was hacked, as happened to some inactive accounts here a Dreamwidth last winter, but have no way of knowing. 

At this point, I'm trying to decide if I still care. I'm pretty sure everyone has made the jump at this point, and while I'm curious what happened, I'm not sure I'm that curious. Do I really want to deal with sysadmins in Moscow? Since whatever happened is hidden behind the digital curtain of their suspension page, it's not likely to cause me any grief.

I've shut off crossposting here, and am waving goodbye. Goodbye, LiveJournal. You were fun, back before you became evil...

I have one friend who posts to LJ only a couple of times a month, and another who (although he has a dreamwidth journal) only comments in LJ. I wish I could get them to drop LJ...

Gucci, gucci, you were a good platform! Yeah, I haven't tried to look at my old LJ either.

I think Dan (the Red) was the last person I knew who was still there, and I'm pretty sure he's here now.
