emchyi figure i might as well use the service to discuss the service
main reason i came over here is all of the many times i keep hearing that the current LJ owners may make LJ go away or at least be less reliable esp for the US customers. i have a lot of poetry, art and life up in this journal and worrying that it could go away at any moment makes me tense. i use this to relieve tension so thats a no win for me. yes i could use lj book to back it up but honestly - i suck at remembering to do that until it's too late and then everyone who is panicking has the servers jammed up.
secondary reasons.
1. the most shallow - i can use emchy which LJ would not allow since their user name has a six character requirement
2. less shallow - for what its worth they're a .org and based on open source models.
3. i already met some nice people that i like in the only community i have joined
4. vagabondage was available as a community name so we don't have to put up with the clunkier vagabondageband
5. a nice person got me a paid account - thank you nice person
reasons i am finding it hard to stick it out.
1. my pals don't seem to be posting over here although they are joining.... i've followed everyone back but it seems like all of the posting is still on lj
2. until we hit critical mass over here i am in LJ so much reading the flist to see how my peeps are that i forget to post here as the main place and so it's a self fulfilling prophecy since i am not posting here much either
3. while the architecture mimics LJ its just different enough to feel like i am relearning
4. my icons didn't port over - pout - some of those are lost forever to files on work computers
and thats the exposition on this for now...
we'll see how it works out
