About LJ alternatives

[winter]

GreatestJournal has just cut userpics down to 10.

InsaneJournal has been down for the past hour.

I think I'll be staying with our Russian overlords for the time being.

Though, strangely, IJ seems to be loading for me at the moment...?

Also for me. Maybe the flood of new users overwhelmed the server temporarily? :)

I notice that IJ has gained ~80 perm accounts and a comparable number of paid ones in the last week -- and just compare the stats.bml page before the current unpleasantness with today's. We LJers seem to like giving back the love.

After a quick consult, I think I'll be sticking with GJ for RP purposes, though I'm backing up like crazy. It's very much a pity there's no program that lets you upload backups with comments included - my main problem is that we have tons of 1000+ comment threads that constitute the bulk of the conversation. Not to mention that IJ's not looking particularly stable at the moment.
