LJ 18th anniversary

#mylivejournal #lj18 #happybirthday

awwww...13 years???!! Wow... remember the days/phase when there was some craze about keeping track of how many comments wrote/received, or something? lol... I am now using both DW and LJ (same name). I doubt I will ever move away. I am just using DW to post when I feel like it and happen to be at work.

Strange to see that, isn't it? So many years spent here... so many comments, 99.9% of those helpful, and compassionate, and loving. For some reason, LJ seems so much more friendly overall than most other platforms, and that's at least why I have stayed so long.

Here's to the next ten years of friendly net activity, whatever that may be! *cheers*

I would encourage you to make the habit of posting from DW. The crossposting feature works so perfectly and then you have a perfect duplicate in case one site crashes/closes/etc. (The fact that I'm trying to only have to read one list is secondary, I swear! :))

haha... I think I will do just that. I am trying to import every now and then. But in the long run, I will get lazy and move over to just cross-posting! :)

Kind of bittersweet for me, as I've resolved to post on DW only now. It's much quieter there but hey, I checked my LJ stats just now!

Joined LJ around one month after you did, 2481 posts, 25.3K comments posted, 18.9K comments received... haha, yeah, it sure was/is a big part of my life :-)

[smittenbyu]

yeah. But then again, I am OK with the quiet as I feel I hardly have time to catch up with everyone on my list! sigh....

What's DW?

I guess lj has something that's kept people around, but it doesn't seem to be aging very well, and many people I know are crossposting content to lj, only to continue being reachable to friends. lj was my first real blog, and I've clocked over 10 years myself, and until this year, it was the only place I blogged.

www.dreamwidth.org I am there under same username - LJ is blocked at work, you know OMG Russians are all hackers! So, it's more the access/convenience am posting from there.

You are right that the community feel is no longer there - I am also wondering it might be the reflection of our age group? Life has surely gotten busier and amount of time given is not as much as before! I don't know - it's so at least for me! See, it took two weeks to respond to your comment! ;)
