so, LJ, our time is coming to a close?
that new "beta" friends page will be forced upon everyone whether they like it or not once it's done. confirmed by LJ staff member here.
that's good.
because i like being blinded by LJ when i read it.
:\ anyone here moving to dreamwidth? I already have an account, if a lot of you guys go, I will too. I don't know if I can read the new page. I suffer light sensitivity issues and reading that page for too long will trigger headaches. sucks to be me i guess.

Congratulations, LJ. You have managed to trigger a headache in a person who never gets headaches. (Seriously, I can count on one hand the number of headaches I've had that weren't related to me being sick or banging my head on something.) I can only imagine how much worse it is for the people who do get headaches/migraines.
I still plan to use LJ for pkmncollectors, but I may be forced to migrate to DW or somewhere else for my personal journal. I already have a DW account. The only reason I don't use it is because 90% of my friends and communities are still on LJ.
as is, if they roll out these changes the only way i will be able to keep up on journals is to check everyones pages myself... :\ the new friends page is absolutely unusable for me. its like, there is a reason my journal is not blaring white. bleh.
a lot of people are saying the white bugs their eyes/gives headaches too but looking like LJ's track record of not giving any fucks.
DW admin talk to and interact with their userbase... LJ shut down their US office and now all the admins forcing these changes are Russian. they dont talk to us. they obviously dont care enough to try to talk to us. its unfortunate.
Do you know if you can customize DW?! I probably sound stupid for whining over the image of Zorg I have on my page, but I spent a lot of time dressing him up for each holiday...;_;
It's a little complicated so far, but if I can get everything down square I hope I can help everyone else who wants help into setting up a DW account too. :b
I know I will need some help,
though some say I am beyond it.I just hope that DW does not make the same stupid mistakes that LJ is...:\DW won't. Their admins talk to the user base and understand what they want. Even if they considered it, they would hear the feedback and stop ruining things. LJ however, has not and will not.
Why won't LJ listen to the feedback of their users. If you ask me, they are a bunch of damn fools!! >:(
I think I find a way to read some LJ entries from my DW too, but they have to be public? I'm not sure, if I can find out how to friend people with openID i might do that.
as for now, when that "beta" friends page goes final, I will be mostly unable to read people's journals anyway. I gotta figure something out. :(
