Running Tally of Communities on InsaneJournal

Still can't post more than a few lines, but I'm going to try to put this up there anyway:

FYI for anyone on my FList who's got a journal on Insane Journal:

keieeeye (LJ name unknown) is starting a running tally on asylums (the name for communities on IJ), both fannish and non-fannish that can be found here on IJ.

I assume she'll update as new asylums are created, and it looks like several LiveJournal comms have started mirroring their LJ counterparts over IJ, just in case.

aren't you tired of 'just in case's'

Yeah. Most definitely. I'd like it to stop. Now.

Erm, I really, really, don't want to give in to possible speculation and/or conspiracy mongering, but could someone please look into tallying up who is having 'technical' trouble?

I ask because from my perspective, there are very few of my friends who are actually having trouble with their LJs, andthoe that are slot neatly into 2 categories;
- have been involved in the LJ-censorship debacle
- have an 'adult' rated journal - explicit fanfic, 24/7 BDSM slave journals, that kind of thing.

I.e., both types are things that LJ/6A have neatly demonstrated they'd prefer not to have around. I'm not saying they're sabotaging journals or anything like that, but they simply might be repeatedly bumping the 'fix-it' option for your journals down to the end of the to-do list, in the hope that you'll get fed up enough to go elsewhere.

And of course, if you do, it'll be in an exasperated 'can't take these technical hitches' type manner, so you won't take hundreds of other outraged users with you - those that might have been prepared to jump ship with you due to LJ's massive political misstep would now be shrugging, as it doesn't effect them, and carrying on with their normal services.

Just a thought.
