Sixapartgate: bobbin' and weavin' (and wankin')
Bradfitz makes a post to lj_maintenance. A post that starts off with...

So apparently there's this rumor going around that's making people run for the hills and archive their accounts, effectively killing the one remaining database cluster (Chef) that's not InnoDB yet.

And that's all he has to say about the rumored selling of his soul LJ to SixApart.

LJ users come out of the woodwork to suggest that maybe it's time for him to give a definite confirmation or denial.

Also see use of ginormous font to drive a point home, someone who should probably find a hobby that doesn't involve teh intarweb, the obligatory 'wah me poor can't pay for lj' comment,, one short and sweet call for Jihad, and lots of "duh" comments from people who didn't read the damn post and want to know how to back up their journals.

5 pages and counting.

UPDATE! It's true. Better get your splooge-resistant hip waders out, folks.

That Six Apart(known for Movable Type) will be buying Livejournal.

Check THIS out. It's a mini-wank. Complete with bitching, a protest meme, grammatical correcting..

Blah, boohoo. So LJ goes the way of all other major commercial internet communities. That's why there's JournalFen (hell yeah) or GreatestJournal, where you get 1000 icons for free. None of this piddly 3 icon bullshit.

1000 for free you say? I think I need to invest in one of these Greatest Journals of which you speak.

I love me some icons, yes I do.

Great news, so here's some that's equally as great: my LJ will be pulled shortly in lieu of this decision, and you won't be getting a single penny (and possibly not a single hit) from me ever again.

Oh noes, I'll bet that one will make [info]brad cry himself to sleep.

This is all far, far too amusing to watch.

For the love of little green apples, people, "in lieu of" means "instead of", not "because of"! *tears hair out* AAARGH!

Sorry, that's one of the more frustrating cases of "I'm going to use big, expensive words to sound smart even though I don't actually know what they mean or how to use them."
