WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE BLOGGER?!?

Just logged in.

Jesus, is lj EVER going to stop with it's re-designing obsession?

And are lj design staff EVER going to actually consider people's real screen resolutions? Mine is a perfectly standard 1024x768 pixels, and the new intro page is WAY TOO WIDE. I prefer to have my favourites open and pinned along the side of my screen, and even if I adjust the window width to make my favourites as small as possible, I still can't fit all of the introduction page on my screen.

The moment I can't navigate lj without scrolling sideways, there will be HELL to pay.

WTF, lj.

JUST STOP.

LANDMARK MOMENT: The end of free, ad-less Livejournal accounts

Wow.

Livejournal removes the ability to create a Basic Account.

Only journals created BEFORE...well...today will ever be able to switch between a Basic and a Plus account.

Any journals created from today on out will have only two account options: Plus or Paid.

For the second time today: WTF LJ?!


This would be so much less depressing if the available replacements for lj out there didn't all...well, suck. (GreatestJournal imploding, InsaneJournal also full of ads, etc.)

I believe we are truly seeing the start of the predicted end of the blogosphere. Within five years, I predict blogging will be nearly extinct, except for the die-hard bloggers and specialty blogs (i.e. journalist blogs and the like).

Sad, really. It was good and exciting while it was going.
