Okay. I moved journals.

I've got all of my icons copied over to InsaneJournal.

I've friended every LJ person I know who is also on InsaneJournal. (Did I miss you? Let me know!)

I've updated my LiveJournal profile and layout with links to my InsaneJournal.

I'm not copying over my LJ archives to InsaneJournal because I'm too lazy, but I'm saving backups for myself, and everything going forward will be in IJ.

I've fixed up my InsaneJournal's style so it looks more or less like my LJ one.

I've got a permanent IJ account which includes 300 icons. (BTW, they're on sale this week.)

So. I've officially moved to InsaneJournal.

Therefore:

My entries will be posted to InsaneJournal first.

I'll read my friends' list on InsaneJournal first and comment there first.

But. Since I don't want to lose touch with my LJ friends:

I'll still be cross-posting to LJ, although I'd really encourage people to comment on IJ instead of LJ. That's why each entry includes a link at the bottom to the InsaneJournal version. (I won't hate you if you don't. Just, y'know, I'd appreciate it, if you have an IJ account, if you'd comment there.)

Eventually (probably when my paid time runs out this spring), I'll just post links to my InsaneJournal posts, instead of cross-posting.

In terms of LJ friends:

I'll still read and comment on my LJ friends list, at least until more people move to InsaneJournal. There are just too many people on LJ that I don't want to lose touch with. But I'm going to be spending a lot more time on InsaneJournal. (Look, there's even a community for the Master over there!)


[The reason for all this has been brewing for a long time, but the utterly inane new "flagging" system was the last straw for me.]

I think I signed up for Insane Journal but I never go there. And Greatest Journal too, but both only as backups in case I have to leave quick.

InsaneJournal's definitely better than GreatestJournal. GreatestJournal gets a lot of spam and randomly deletes icons, plus their censorship policies aren't any friendlier than LJ's.

InsaneJournal has most of the good features of LJ, plus a lot less of the annoying crap. And so far they've been really welcoming to fandom and haven't shown any inclinations toward censorship or "we have to clean this place up so we can make a profit" type nonsense. And the guy who runs it seems very responsive to actual user concerns, unlike LJ who ignores what we actually want and just spams us with irritating intrusive "features" that we have to opt out of.

(Sorry, getting ranty.)
