I'm sticking around

I hadn't heard about the latest bullsh*t with LiveJournal, but I'm sticking around for now. I have a back-up under the same name at Dreamwidth, if it comes to that, but I've never liked DW as much, and LJ is where I have my permanent account and ten billion icons. The idea of losing that and more makes me a little sick to my stomach, to be honest.

I should probably go back up my creative writing journal, to be on the safe side. *sigh*

Like every other major change with LJ, though, I suspect this will end up being another tempest in a teapot, because I'm an optimist that way.

I feel the same way. I created a back-up at DW, but I'm not interested in using it as anything but a fail-safe.

Yep. Dreamwidth is a back-up, not my pain posting space. I have to try to remember to back up my LJ there more often (with comments), so that if LJ ever does go belly-up, I won't lose everything, but that's it. I've had my LJ account for almost fifteen years, I'm not about to give up now.

Yep, exactly. I just had an awful pang when I thought about all of those posts disappearing.

When I moved to Germany, I had a Hotmail account, and chronicled the move in emails to my mom. Then I didn't check in for a while, and MS deleted my account, and woosh, all of those posts were gone. I definitely dont want that to happen again!
