IN CASE LJ VANISHES ALL OF A SUDDEN OH GOSH

[luciazephyr]

HEY, FLIST, LOOK HERE. NO, DON'T SCROLL PAST.

So LJ may be in danger. Or maybe not. No real way of knowing. But I think we're better safe than sorry.

Thus, here is a poll. It's results are locked to my eyes. It's so I can find ya'll should this ship suddenly sink. I'm gonna stash the info in a locally stored text document and clutch it to my chest should LJ capsize.

So any of the following info you're willing to fill me in with would be great.

[Poll #1326441]

-Lucy

PS: I'm lucia_zephyr on GJ, JF, and IJ if you need me. Tho I hear GJ is dead now... Hrm.

Haha I was just going to comment with "GJ died long ago because a non-profit organization cannot hold water like this" but you seem to be aware already XD

I am sad but I don't think LJ will go down. hopeless optimism. Mostly because I HATE the clone sites. They're ugly and all stuck on S1 still. >_>

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Seriously, same here. I hate S1, but... yanno, I'll deal if it means I don't lose my entire internet life. Enough HTML tinkering will make it pretty enough anyway.

And, hey, JF has FandomWank. That's pretty sweet.

[schonste.livejournal.com]

Ah but I don't like fandomwank, and JF is ooogly. XD

Buh? What am I missing? Why is LJ in danger?

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

The FList is all aflutter because of this: http://valleywag.gawker.com/5124184/the-russian-bear-slashes-a-social-network

...oh shite.

If LJ does go bye bye, there will be a major disturbance in the smut force. A thousand voices screaming out in agony.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, what happens to all the people who haven't backed up their fic? God, they'll lose everything. :sad:

[indirajames.livejournal.com]

'Save Page As' to the rescue!

[fofomazuzu.livejournal.com]

I don't know if it makes this all more distressing, but they say the reported number of 20 of 28 was exaggerated and is actually only a dozen of them. That makes this a teensy bit more comforting.

[nachomanlance.livejournal.com]

So, curiously speaking, how are you backing up all of your entries at once? I'd rather not go to every page and just 'save as'.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Most people are using LJ Archive: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljarchive/

[nachomanlance.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I guess they don't have the software available for Mac, but I was able to get it done no problem on the PC I hardly use.

The whole LJ-disappearing thing seems to be a bit over-reacting, but it isn't bad to be safer than sorry. As for me, the captain must go down with the ship...

[gundamtsubasa.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link. You kick all sorts of ass. Oh, off topic. I have you to thank for my going out and buying this (http://www.amazon.com/West-Wing-Complete-Collection/dp/B000HC2LI0/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1231302362&sr=8-12). You may rule, but you're also the devil incarnate for tempting me to spend money.

ENJOY IT. ♥

Oh, I will. I've been getting the first and second seasons through Netflix, but that shit's too damn slow. I need to watch it all NOW NOW NOW.
