stegzyYou read it here first.
The more observant of you may have noticed toned down postings on my LJ of late. Well, there is a reason for that. I have reached the end of my subscription and I don't want to renew. There are many reasons for this. But crucially, tomorrow's LJ post will be my last.
But fear not, I will still post here, for now. DW has become, for many, a dumping ground for their LJ. I don't want mine to be like that. I want mine to be distinctly different. A more serious, semi-political journal with a touch of homegrown cyncism and social observation. See it as graduating from primary school to secondary school.
My reasons for departing LJ include:
- I can't be arsed
- Nobody reads me and those that do don't comment often
- I'm not the same person I was 5 years ago
- It costs too much to run LJ, extra icons AND photobucket
- I can't be arsed
- Other reasons I'm not going into here
- The growing army of spammers
- LJ is now shabby and resembles an award winning council estate that has fallen into disrepair.
- Policy issues
- You can't be arsed
- I want to move to Dreamwidth
- I get all my LJ gossip elsewhere.
But like I said, you read it here first, not that many people read DW at the moment. No doubt a few will come along tomorrow after my announcement but I don't see them hanging round for long. The internet and the way we use it has changed. There are exciting new things afoot. I intend to be riding the crest of that wave. LJ is no longer a viable surfboard.
Watch this space.
