Probably everyone has seen these, but just on the off-chance that you haven't:

On Linking to offsite content in LJ

[insanejournal.com profile] amanuensis1's Watership Down Analogy

Information on how to make your GJ look like your LJ ... and if anyone knows how to do something similar with IJ, please let me know?

[insanejournal.com profile] squeaky on IJ, here, saying that IJ is not affiliated with LJ, and if you scroll down - he says that he will find other advertising rather than bow to advertiser's restrictions on content (speaking specifically about Google ads, that is) ... also info in comments about how the site will deal with actual offenders.

He said: "If they are obviously breaking the law, a law enforcement agency willbe contacted and appropriate legal steps will be taken. From there I will cooperate fully with law enforcement on how they would choose todeal with the situation." and "But we feel it is better for the authorities to handle these people. I do not have law enforcement or legal training and I would prefer to letthose who do take care of such issues." ... and I fell a little bit more in love with IJ.

IJ has also increased the # of friends that a free account can have to 250. If we all glomp over there ... accounts there are reasonably-priced and it would be great if we could help him out. Not very nice to just barge in and crash his severs, you know?

And ... I know nothing about computers, but as I understand it, this will let you transfer comms as well as journals. If you have a Mac. Or if you have Windows with something called python on it. (To the best of my knowledge, I do not have any snakes on my computer, nor do I necessarily support the idea of putting snakes and electronics in close proximity. Just in case you were wondering.)

I'm feeling pretty good about this by now, guys - yes, it's definitely going to suck short-term, but I think that we can do it and make it work. [insanejournal.com profile] crucio_4_coffee and I have been talking about some sort of fest on GJ to encourage people to move over there ... anyone interested? Keep your eyes open for more details, I can't wait to get away from the stress and insanity and back into the fun part of fandom. :)

GJ=bad. Seriously, they have the same issues with censorship that LJ has, just less publicized. I don't have a link handy, but I can get one for you in just a few seconds.

IJ is the place to be, IMHO.

I agree more and more ... squeaky has been just fabulous. I don't mind x-posting to both for right now, though ... it's obviously good to have a backup, *sigh*. Obviously I don't mind x-posting three ways, but hopefully the painful interim period will be over soon and we'll all be settled. :)

I would love some sort of fest here or on GJ to hopefully get the muses moving again.
