tobyaw at 11:07pm on 06/04/2017Back in June 2003, I created a LiveJournal account. Since then, after peaks and long, low, troughs, I feel that I want to fight against the pervasive feeling of disappointment, and I want LiveJournal to be the special thing that it used to be. Though I blog infrequently, it still feels like it should be home.
In June 2005 I paid $300 for two permanent accounts, one for me and one forkateaw, and I have no regrets. I was happy to support LJ, and over the past twelve years, I’m sure we have received good value from that purchase.
A combination of the long, slow decline in LJ, together with event calamities like we’re seeing this week, will serve to drive more and more people from LJ, and perhaps into using their Dreamwidth accounts, but I fear that we won’t see much more evidence of an active online community.
But let’s be hopeful. Maybe something good will come from this.

It's certainly encouraged me to post a bit. Let's see if that lasts.
Hope is good. I'll join you in that. :-)
