WTF, LJ?

No, seriously. WTF???

If I'm going to have to spend an entire evening figuring out how to archive my posts from the last four-plus years, there's going to be hell to pay.

I would recommend backing up (using one of the suggested tools), because it is the Internet, and nothing stays around forever, but I also don't think LJ is going anywhere, at least not for some time.

I don't think we're looking to get any new features any time soon, or perhaps the new development will be in-house by Sup (I'm voting on the former). But there are many LJ-code ( based knock-offs back when it was open-sourcey and not a business)around the Internet (deadjournal, insanejournal) that are run by a couple of folks that I don't think make any money off it at all.

And if LJ actually does go down and no one tries to rescue it... there are the knock-offs and people will probably migrate to them.
