dear livejournal: fuck me? no, fuck YOU

I come home from Las Vegas to find new useless fakey-fake "adult content" flagging. After all the nonsense that went down this year (primarily, the pornish_pixies pogrom and the Snap Previews), this was the last straw. My paid account was conveniently coming up for renewal on Dec 5... NOT ANYMORE! SUCK IT SIX APART! HAHAHAHAHAHA

... and empathize.

So, are you falling back on the "free" account, or jumping off the LJ boat altogether (say it ain't so!) and swimming to somewhere else???

Inquiring friends want to know...

Oh, i'll stick with the freebie. Plus i'll be blocking ads, so with any luck i'll be costing LJ money even though i'll still count as an "active account" for their unholy accounting purposes.

We really need to move away and take our shit with us.

Especially since it thinks this message has no body.

I swear.

been doing that for some time, what, 3 years now?

They won't take my money even if I try to give it to them (which there's no way in hell I will now.) They don't like Finnish banks. (read: they're too lame to understand how to use Visa Electron.)

About the only pay feature that was ever of interest to me was to be able to access www.livejournal.com/waider as waider.livejournal.com. And that's been available to non-pay accounts for quite a long time now.

The adult flagging sucks the cock, it does. Especially since it's so poorly implemented. What, you lied about your date of birth on your profile? OMG!

They're not trying to protect the children, whatever they're claiming. It's legal ass-covering, and I sympathize with that, because all they need is one disgruntled parent who can get the ear of the American Family Association to be run into the ground. But Six Apart executed the idea in pretty much the worst way possible, as is their norm.

They need somebody talented on board to set them straight about these arbitrary actions. Somebody like Ron.

Or

brad. Oh wait.

I flagged this post as containing offensive content.

Is there a decent LJ alternative based out of a country where they're sane about this sort of stuff?

YEAH, FUCK SIX APART! RIGHT IN THE EAR!

Oh wait, not Six Apart (http://www.sup.com/en/news_181.html)? Huh.

...to Russia, Comrade.

Not yet.

Mainly due to my not having TIME, thanks work, really appreciate your disallowing my free time...

but yes. I'm seriously considering it. And I'm not there.

You mean like Russia? Oh, wait.

Or Putin.

Gaaah. You beat me to that remark by seconds, apparently.

Wait, hold that thought.

Sounds like I'll have more LJ influence (via new role as advisory board member) than I've had recently. -- brad (http://brad.livejournal.com/2351564.html)

Polls. I really like polls.

And the fannish community is really pissed off about adult flagging, since we all generally cut-tag adult content anyway, except our cut-tags have actual information about what's beneath the cut, like, you know, specific warnings and ratings and stuff.

In Soviet Russia, adult content flags YOU!

I declare the entire internet to be "adult content". Let the lame parents and the religious groups flag what they want as "child friendly".

I am just getting caught up on all sorts of stuff, so what up is this ?

I reupped after all, after the news of our new Russian overlords. I figure the benefit of the doubt is worth $20.

Now to get you campaigning for BushCheney2008, before the iranian flying saucers come back.

I mean, in an age when there is an anti-war group in the war department struggling against the peace candidate, the very eco-terrorist himself, the need to have some sort of posting flag system is really a great idea. I mean we could demand that the evil liberal media do the same. You know, some sort of 'this new broadcast is composed of....' and have the FDA work on the actual daily requirement of transfactuals that a person can stomach before going completely BONKERS!!!!

Oh yes, up for 'I am legend' AND 'the golden compass' so as to show that you hate american and are in league with the satanists who are at this very moment sneaking illegal alien flying saucers over the border into america as a performance art protest against the return of the iranian flying saucers, and the cut in the DOD's budget for imaginary weapons?

We had joy
We had fun
We had seasons in the sun
