I hate it when LJ goes sneaky. If they "love and value" their users like they claim they do, why they don't announce the changes beforehand? they must know that the fandom a) will notice, and b) will rise a shit storm.

I will be one of those who will follow after most of the people have moved.

I have a permanent account but luckily I can always change it fr the use of my public, non-fandom persona, if it comes to that.
