Now With a GreatestJournal Back-Up Blog
Like a couple of of you, I've created a shadow blog on Greatest Journal.
Let me just stress: My main Journal is remaining here on LJ. I am basically backing up my LJ entries to GreatestJournal since I don't trust SixApart as far as I can throw them.
Since GreatestJournal uses the exact same encoding as LJ, and since it is completely, 100% free of charge, it's nothing for me to basically cut-n-paste my entries — as well as memories I want to keep — from here to there.
I know quite a few people are starting to do it. If you have GreatestJournal account, you can clink on the link below to friend me on GreatestJournal:

The issue for me is that every time SixApart goes for "reassurance" they seem to stick their foot deeper in it. All of their publicity seems to stress that LJ is primarily made up of teenagers and people in their early 20s. They finally getting stats showing that the mean age of their actual membership is shifted older than they thought by 5 to 10 years.
Yet...every time they do something on CNN or MSNBC, they're flogging the teenager angle. The CEO of SixApart just did it the other day.
People keep pointing out that there are other problems with LJ that could use tweaking, but we keep getting tweaks to things no one things is a big deal. There had to be an all-out pile-a-thon to get them to change the UserInfo page update.
I think what you're seeing are mostly older LJers who have actually paid for their service getting worried and most of them are just mirroring posts they don't want to take a chance on losing. I don't think we'll be forceably moved over to Vox by any means (I'm not as paranoid as some people on my Flist on that score), but I am getting frustrated with SixApart's attitude with users that seem to be outside of their target market, especially since we're the ones actually paying for LJ.
