And life returns to normal with Sullen Fresher screaming in the next room and me taking Miko's suggestion to play Don't Stop Me Now very loudly. Only I was watching Hot Fuzz through Media Player the other day and fiddled with all the sound settings to get rid of the slight tinny-ness and the first way through the song had some very weird bass stuff happening. *blinks*

I'm all LJ-complained out, through tirdness rather than forgiveness at their spectaculary backpedelling apology. It's something but kinda too little, too late. Sorry but it really took some time to figure out how messed up this was. Was it the over-10,000 comments to the news posts, the 24,360 (and rising) member count of fandom_counts or countless angry emails, phone calls and faxes that finally clued you in? The wonderful fandom_wank has more discussion in the comments as to why it doesn't measure up.

It all makes more sense when Brad admits he doesn't work for LJ anymore.

I don't know, I've still lost faith in 6A/LJ-the-company. What I have gained though, is an appreciation of the wonderful community that is fandom and the knowledge that we really could take over the world. (Though only if it involved porn. ;) )

Dad is dropping by later on his way back from a meeting, to pick up some books and give me my American present, of which he said "Oh, I can put it in my pocket." -_- Men. That does however, mean I actually have to sort out which books I need to send home.

*stares blankly at overflowing bookshelves* Um. Yeah.

edit: Also, I promise to answer comments today. I'm sorry for sucking at it lately. Here I am bitching about how LJ 'must do better' but I should be applying it to me too.

Comments

I actually think it makes more sense though, to wait awhile and get their act together. He also says people were not in the right place in the right time, so they waited instead of giving a rushed and probably inacurate statement.

Although I do think a small announcement on the site would have been beneficial, either as a warning an explaination as soon as people heard.

I agree that they needed to wait to get the final statement right but there was nothing for so long and people were going a little crazy. Totally innocent people (including me) were staring at their interests and wondering if they were going to have their journals deleted because LJ was too busy flailing and talking to the press to so much as post a brief comment saying basically "Don't panic, we're working on sorting the situation out and please be patient.'Not to mention their silence put all the poor volunteers in a horrible position of having to keep silent in the face of overwhelming demand for answers.

I don't know, I just think they really screwed this whole thing up. I'll have a lot faith in them again if they undelete all the wrongly suspended journals in the next few days.

I'd feel better about the whole situation if they'd just posted something to the users first before Barak went on the news. Idiot.

And hahah, you're never going to be able to make the Sullen Fresher stop! Inmates so need to come there and make so she can't. Somehow.

*pets you* I don't think anyone blames you for not answering comments. Though answering them would be appreciated. ;-)
