telophase | (no subject)

I'm not going to be leaving Livejournal for the forseeable future - the same sort of thing that's going on here will inevitably go on at other journal sites eventually, and the vast majority of my f-list isn't decamping, anyway.

I've got an InsaneJournal (as telophase, natch) that I'm going to be using to store an online backup of my LJ - I'd use my Journalfen account for that, but JF has that over-18 rule and I know that at least some of my readers are under 18. I'll probably archive art over there or something. Or just continue to use it for nothing but commenting on the wank communities. At any rate, I also have an LJArchive archive that's got all the posts and comments from my LJ archived on my FTP server, because if you don't have at least two different backups stored in two different places, you don't have a backup.

Not on GreatestJournal because some bastard took the name telophase over there and never used the account, so its deleted and the GJ admins don't clear them out and don't want you asking to clear them out. I thought said bastard might have been me, reserving the name and forgetting the password, but using the Lost Password function produces no mail in any of my inboxes, so I suppose it's some other bastard.

P.S. If you do happen to want to decamp to Journalfen, as a paid user over there (name: telophase) I can request that a journal be made for someone. I can't abuse the privilege, though, so not too many at once. :) If you want one, give me the name you want, an email address, and a solemn pledge that you are (a) at least 18 years old and (b) not an asshat.

so... have I missed some sort of LJ drama that's causing folk to abandon ship?

Yup. :) Here's the fandom_wank report on Strikethrough II: Electric Boogaloo (http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1099610.html).

Well, that last requirement leaves me out.

Hee. XD I think if you started posting at fandom_wank either you'd go nuclear or we'd create a singularity.

You know, I'd almost be tempted to start one just to watch the heads explode. Especially after the third "It's special grease" posting.

I wouold very much appreciate a JF invitation (username as here; born 1974, no. 1 in the charts was Suzi Quatro (hail her bass and leather trousers)) but I also appreciateI'm a relative newcomer to your journal, so won't in the slightest be offended if you use your requests for other people. But thankyou for reading through all the brackets and commas, anyway :)

You should have the account info at the gmail account listed in your userinfo now. :D

Thank you!

You know, even if I didn't have a permanent account, I doubt I'd be thinking of going elsewhere. Perhaps I am being a Bad Fan but I'm just not able to get up in arms over all of this.

I'm too lazy to go somewhere else.

But I am sad that I'll be missing out on posts from friends for whom this is an issue and are leaving. Sigh.

*adds you over at JF*

Ohh, I'd love a JF account. I'm not going anywhere, but I'm just trying to reserve my username and back stuff up. Same username, am definitely over 18, and am hoping I'm not an asshat ;).

Why did I not remember you'd asked when I posted that comment in your post earlier today? I FAIL. :D

You should have the account info at your gmail account now. :)

Hey, that is ok! And thank you!

:) A word of advice - it's LJ code, as I'm sure you know, but they haven't bothered to tweak little things to fit "JF" isntead of "LJ" so you use "LJ" when you're writing usernames, and you might have to get into your style and customize the links to point to JF instead of LJ when you start arranging your journal's look. :) Lots of people just don't bother.

I've been wanting a JournalFen account for more than a year. How do I send the info you requested--via the email account in your profile?

The answer would be yes, as you've probably found out by now. :) I posted the offer, then promptly left town for the weekend. XD Anyway, once you answer it, I'll create the account.
