Wow. Taking a page from Six-Apart's old book, or what?

I just lost a shitton of faith in IJ.

I get it, inactive journals taking up space blah blah blah blah blah. Whatever.

Journals with actual content in them should not be deleted except by the creators of the content. Even if they did stop posting fifteen months ago. End of freakin' story.

I... was planning on renewing some of my paid accounts that had just expired. Until this.

But.. I don't think that's the case. I mean I've seen journal accounts with emails for domains that no longer even exist and the account hasn't been touched since like 2003, and they're still active. So I don't understand why that's happening with communities. :/ In general I don't know why communities are getting purged in the first place.. Accounts I can see. But communities I don't understand.

I totally feel you on this. But I've been pretty 'meh' since those horrible ads in the profiles.

I've honestly missed seeing those because I bought up a lot of perm accounts when I first joined, and so generally I don't see ads on the pages at all. Although I'm kind of regretting the perm accounts at the moment for a number of the journals.

I would guess that the ones which are still active, but haven't been touched since 2003, are permanent accounts, or something. I just think content is important to preserve, as much as money.

It's really freaking ironic. "Oh hay, we fixed the comment rot, so now content isn't going to randomly vanish off the site... so now we're going to deliberately delete a whole bunch of it instead!"

I'm just wondering what planet that logic comes from. SRSLY.
