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. "
