Admins wank and you still don't get your username back!
So; everyone knows that there was a massive migration away from Greatestjournal right?

Weeeeeeeeell, one of the places they went was CommieJournal. They had an outage around the seventh or eighth of December, and had to restore the database. No big deal, right?

Except, apparently, there is a line in their TOS about "We reserve the right to delete you for inactivity" and they actually have done so. Meaning that frees up the user name for someone else.

The wank starts here with [info]piecesofme stating that someone paid the admins to take a pair of journals from her "friend".

It continues here with [info]clandestine and [info]shamansgirl arguing back and forth.

This prompts a second post by [info]news and even more back and forth between [info]piecesofme and [info]shamansgirl.

The two journals in question: [info]brendan and ryan were held by [info]peterlkwentz who also appears to make several comments, defending their actions.

And then! ryan appears! As does a user by the name of [info]dallascowboys who tries to prove... something. I'm not sure what.

All this leads up to bannination!

And then, again, another post once again explaining that the user names have NOT NOT NOT been bought.

I don't think it'll get any bigger, because CJ is much smaller, but there is some prime douchebaggery in there.

Edit: There are two new "news posts" up. Apparently the paior banned before have now been sysbanned and an open question post has been posted

I stand corrected. This could get a lot more fun.

apparently usernames are serious business on the internet
0__o That's got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone say, on the internet. And even I have said some seriously dumb things! usernames are the internet. Where would any of us be without our precious ninja-names?

Oh wait, Ryan gets better... Is this his first day on the internet?

I'd never heard of CommieJournal before; in trying to figure out who they were, I found this, in their very first news post, which I thought amusing vis-a-vis the current wank:

We will NEVER delete or suspend a journal WITHOUT speaking to the owner (except in the case of a law violation; see above).

So they've only been live since August and they're all ready purging accounts for inactivity? Um. I can't imagine that would cause any problems at all, no sirree. Totally reasonable.
Also this:
You stupid fuck, we run this thing out of pocket! If we wanted money we'd stick fucking ads on this site! Go crawl back up your own ass! We don't need your trollish bullshit here.
The next time you think an LJ admin is being an unprofessional douche, think of this and get a warm feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Sadly, usernames are a big deal to some people; you should see the snits people on GJ get into over ZOMGUNDERSCORES! It's kind of hilarious, in a sad sort of way.

Wow, that is one of the butt-ugliest journal layouts I have ever come across, and I include Ataniell's eyestrain-inducing pepto-bismol layout in that. Bright green text on bright red boxes? An exploding volcano half-covered by the entry box as the journal background? The 'news' journal icon is a bouncing rainbow animated .gif... Good God, who told these guys that making their users go temporarily blind with sheer loathing induced by rainbow overload every time they viewed a newspost was a good idea?

Then again, given Nebris's taste in user icons, I'm really not surprised the layout makes me want to spork my eyes out. Doesn't leave me feeling at all inclined to take him or his journal site seriously, though, even without taking his pottymouth into consideration. I wonder if he realizes all he's really doing here is making LJ look damn good in comparison?
