i dont think lj will disappear as everyone is saying, last year after the perm account the same rumours started. Lj might not be at its best with people leaving to myspace or facebook, but that doesnt mean lj will die, we just have to take a look at other journals like deadjournal, greatestjournal (and hundreds more), they are less popular and still alive.
Thing is, this time they are getting fired! With nobody to run it, it's only a matter of time... I only hope all my LJ friends move to the same new address.
i just thought... if they are selling perm accounts now, it cant die, at least not in the next few years, its not something they have in mind right now, to close the business.
I am praying with my entire being that you are right and that it takes a couple of years for things to shut down (or for a new owner to be found)... I haven't backed up my journal! Yikes!
i have seen they are talking about it in the perms comm and they arent really nervous, some say its relativly easy to find a new owner to lj...
i am sure it will take more than 2 or 5 years to shut down, i dont even think they will shut lj down, it would be no sense to be able to buy paid accounts today or even perm ones, if they knew they are about to close.
okok lets not talk about it anymore, maybe if we ignore this, it will disappear...
quoting a friend of mine: " It is eventually cleared up that those numbers were blown out of proportion; 13 out of the same 28 were laid off (17 remain in the SF offices, and more located at the Moscow offices) with not much warning beforehand and/or severance. "
