If any of you have Live Journal accounts, this is important news.
This link has other links that explain what has been going on.

None of this surprises me. They've been quiet for a long time, very little news.
I don't have any political content in my journal, but they might decide to delete all of the English side of Lj. Or copyright laws under lj in the US may not be upheld.
There's backup on Dreamwidth, but the lack of image hosting worries me. Perhaps with an increase of Russians will convince Dreamwidth to put up an image hosting. |

It really is at the end.  I've been holding off exporting the Archer's Tale over there because the images would still be linked to Live Journal and if I ever find new image hosting I'm going to have to go through and change all those links, but I see I'm going to have to go ahead and do that so at least the text of the story isn't lost. The images might end up disappearing. Edited to add: The import process is going on now. All of the entries on the Dreamwidth account are currently set to private since the account on Live Journal contains rough drafts and other entries beside the fanfic. I'll need to go through and set the story entries to public by hand. |

I'm going to have to do something about image hosting. I wish Dreamwidth had come up with one by now.

I would happily pay them the money that I've been paying to Live Journal all these years if they had a scrapbook feature.
Earlier this month I canceled my yearly Live Journal subscription and I see that was the right choice. Live Journal is no longer the blogging site that I was once so happy with.

Based on the entry that the devs posted in the "dw_mainenance" journal, Dreamwidth will have image hosting by this coming Sunday or Monday. If so, that means then I'll need to get to work bringing my fanfic's 2,594 images from Live Journal to Dreamwidth. Admittedly I am NOT looking forward to that, but at the same time I'll be glad to have a place to put them before Live Journal disappears.
