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.

D: This is disturbing.

15 months doesn't really seem that long. Especially if there's content.

Yeah. I used to be big about buying paid and perm accounts for IJ... now I kind of feel like I should spend that money elsewhere. Especially with the added "oh no, if it's a paid/perm account it can stay up forever," which on one hand feels totally reasonable (if you're paying for it, they'd damn well better not delete it) but on the other hand feels like blackmail (if you don't shell out money, you can't guarantee the safety of your coontent!). The rule of thumb should be that if there's content it should also be left alone, too.

LJ pulled some spectacular shit, but I believe even they never crossed that line (except when they were banning people for suspicious-sounding interests and the like).
