Time to back up, folks

Alarming news (though other reports say that it's "only" 13 employees, ie just under half the total workforce).

LJ Archive has stopped working for me - I think my archive is too big - so I'm using this.

Argh, it never occured to me LJ could just disappear some time. That website is pretty negative, I don't see LJ as a social networking site at all.

I couldn't get LJ Archive to work for me when I tried it, thanks so much for the link!

That's an unusual response... unless you're publishing content and not looking at anyone else's and never commenting (which clearly you're not) then how can you deny that it's social networking?

It's not primarily social networking in the same way as bebo/facebook/myspace/friendster: you might as well describe blogger or indeed diaryland as such.

No, blogger doesn't present you with a long list of all the stuff your mates just said. The networking is definitely there on LJ. I don't know anything about diaryland. The fact that the controversial naming of the "friends list" is so, points directly at how it was meant to be all about keeping up with your friends from the outset. LJ was a social networking site before the term was even coined.

Good point! I think I've always just associated that term with MySpace and Facebook and I use LiveJournal in a different way to those two - I tend to add mostly strangers on LJ.

Eep! Thanks for the info, and the extra backup resource. LJArchive is still working fine for me, but belt and braces doesn't hurt.

I've never managed to get LJ Archive to work so thank you very much!

Nooooo. Nothing bad is allowed to happen to LJ until Saturday when I will hopefully have time to back things up.
