Looks like I'll be leaving LJ permanently very soon

[switch842]

With the release of the Friends Page redesign, LJ will lose all functionality for how I and probably 99.999999% of the people I follow use LJ. If this does indeed go live (and it probably will despite EVERY comment on that post being a negative DO NOT WANT), I will be gone. I will not be updating my LJ. I will let all my paid time and add-ons expire. This most likely means my icon and graphic posts will soon appear empty as I paid to have extra storage space for such things. I am working on an independent solution to that (Coppermine Gallery), but as hubby and I do not have a lot of experience with actually running a service like that, it's taking some time. I do have a dreamwidth (same username) and will begin using that. I also have an AO3 account for my fics and a YouTube for my videos.

I will be sad to leave the communities here, but I hope they can all find a new home on Dreamwidth.

Later, LJ.
