Time for a rant

I'm in the same boat as you. I have 500 of my 1100 photos left to move -- and nowhere to re-upload them to. None of my icons are moved. None of my DD fics are moved. I just -- I can't do it now. I just don't have the time. And even if I did -- it's such a waste! There's so little time for fun, and there hasn't been since all this shit started in May. It's getting to me more than I want to admit.

*hugs* Six Apart sucks major hairy sweaty balls. On one hand, I can't believe they said that I'm responsible for a link I've linked ages ago if it turned porny when it was once safe if someone reports me, but on the other...not very surprised. They're asshats and it's a good thing we've left them.

If you need any help to speed up the moving process, let me know. Even if it means just talking and unwinding on AIM or something.

wow. that's a lot of images. I'm glad I never dumped stuff in their galleries (I found it more annoying than doing the ftp to web server thing). But I'm completely with you on the irritation. I'm still using lj to keep track of some people, but every time I bring up my f-list I'm so disgusted with lj.I feel pure revulsion and I don't even want to touch my communities I'm active in because of it. It used to be a great place, but, I have no tolerance for such willful stupidity. Now it's just another irritant in my daily life. -_- one of these days I'll be able to make the move and completely cut myself off.

Same. All I've done since the damn book came out is move, move move. And I still have SO MUCH to do, it's staggering. And in the end, half the users won't move with us because they loooooove LJ so damn much.

*hugs Snapetoy*

Everybody should have time to write porn freely without dealing with their shit.

*hugs* I know exactly how you feel. I got ONE convention post-Book 7. I will never get another "last HP book", and I really feel like LJ/6A came in and deliberately took that away from me, turned it into something bitter and has really soured a lot of my recent fandom interaction.

Which is why I'm spending the weekend at a gaming con and not doing anything about anything, heh. ♥

*hugs* Know how you feel.

Did the same, but I have a couple of other non fandom communities over on LJ who seem to want to stay there. So unfortunately I put up with them there. But at least now I check this flist, then only see their posts separately.

More hugs

Good rant. I agree 100%, and now I don't have to write a rant. ;-)

This moving crap is taking time and energy, and also greatly impairing the squee, the joy, and the fun of fandom and doing fannish things, be they online or in RL like cons). I was burnt out on fandom and HP *before* the LJ crap began in May, so imagine how much fun I see in fandom now? ;-)

I look forward to the day when it's all done, when all the moving and changing links and whatnot is done and I can start trying to find the squee again. Because I bloody miss it!

I'm so with you! We've wasted so many hours - no, DAYS - on this shit when we could be doing other fun fandom stuff. I've hardly read any fic all through August or drawn any art. I've completely fallen out of love with LJ, and I used to love it so much. It's like an old ex you were in love or lust with, whom you can't stand anymore. :P But I'm very happy with IJ now!

Yep. You sed it. I'm closing up shop very soon on LJ -- my galleries will disappear in about a week when I go to free account. Then it's matter of uploading everything to either here or GJ, and I have to admit, I'm getting more responses when I post here than when I post over at GJ... so I think this is my new home despite the interface issues.

And it has cut into my study time! It's ridiculous how much it has cost me in the way of enthusiasm and energy for the things that actually matter! Of course, that includes pr0n too... ;-)

I think everyone else is in the same boat. The whole internet is like a complete wasteland now.
