Sunday night, watching GJ implode
Dec. 9th, 2007 11:46 pmWhen my granddad moved in with us a few months ago, my dad had to clean up some. He called me in one day and gave me this card about the size of an invitation to something. It was one of my birth announcements, complete with a picture and how much I weighed and the time I was born. I thought for the longest that I was born at 7 A.M., but then my mom said it was 9, and this just verified: 8:55 A.M. on December 10, 1985.
I don't have class tomorrow and I don't have to work, so I will study and maybe go bowling or something.
In the meantime: GJ has gone completely mad. First there were slowdowns and breakdowns during the summer, with the influx of LJers, most likely. Then came them scaling back icons (they went from 1000 free to 100), and getting rid of private messages, and then this week they started to refer new users to InsaneJournal and cut back icons to 10. If this didn't make the users mad enough, there was talk that one of the mods used money for renames to pay bills and that the site owner hadn't talked to the support team since GreatestJournal started in 2003 (!!!)... so yeah.
Anyway: if you're from GJ (and reading this), you knew all of that already; how are you guys despite that?
