I guess they finally decided they wanted to get rid of the majority of their base. I also don't understand sites and major changes like this. Surely I'm not the only one that HATES change on user interfaces and site schemes with a fiery passion. I stop using news sites for jacking with it too much.

So, if you are considering the jump to dream width and need invite, let me know (not sure if they are required anymore or not, but I've never used mine). Interface is the same as classic lj with a couple changes for HTML coding language, but has wonderful help pages.

I'm Jebbypal there too. Comment if you don't plan to make the jump so I know to bookmark your page before the enforced switch to ugly style for friends page as I won't be using that bit would rather just visit your individual page or figure out how to make a dw feed.

At least I have the permanent account so it's no money out of my pocket for their stupid changes.

LJ fail makes me tired, and yet they insisit on doing something at least yearly. This time it's redirecting links through an outside source in order to make more money. Details can be found here, including easy peasy instructions on how to disable it for yourself (on anything you view. Outsiders viewing your account that haven't done it will still have link redirects occuring).

Also, if you mod a community go here to find out how to disable it there as well.

Myself, this is getting a tad ridiculous. I bought a permanent account so I wouldn't have to deal with the repeated sales marketing etc crap that was occuring. I am going to delete my free LJ account that I'd left up as a repository for fic, because I don't like the idea of my content generating them money anymore. I'm going to delete any free community accounts that are no longer active. I'm also going to think a lot more about doing serious cross-posting to dreamwidth instead of using it as fic only archive.

Like I said, LJ fail normally makes me tired. But they are starting to fail in a way to make me take action.
