The line has been drawn.

Filed under livejournal, rant | 2 Comments

After 5 days waiting for something from Six Apart i was honestly hoping for something better than this. I am indescribably underwhelmed. It took five days to put that load of waffle together?!
Here is my final word on the matter:
Really not impressed.
Where is the explanation of what constitutes artistic merit?

Der Spiegel has an article about the EPIC FAIL of LJ/6A. (here is a translation)
Today i emailed The London Paper, London Lite and Evening Standard to let them know what’s going on. I picked up a copy of The London Paper that was lying around on the train home, but i haven’t had time to [...]

Well that was a fun day!

Filed under livejournal | No Comments

I can’t help but wonder what Six Apart/LJ staff are making of all this drama. Maybe they don’t care. Flooding the news posts doesn’t seem to have done any good. I think it’s pretty much just giving LJ more money because every time we reload, it loads up the Google ads. Are we still just [...]

Filed under admin, amusing, livejournal | No Comments

I have made my closing post at LiveJournal. I have changed my profile page there to simply give a comment that i made in the news community earlier today:
LiveJournal, i loved you but i hate what you have become since Six Apart took over. I have just HAD ENOUGH. You’ve pushed me too far this [...]
