Wait, Wait, I got a little more:
* Fantastic short post about the change; funny and better than I could'a described it. Good links on that page, too.
* The Daily Dot's article titled "The demise of a social media platform: Tracking LiveJournal's decline".
Like I said, I'm not happy. I'm feeling very vindictive-hopeful right now. I know that nothing will stop this ass from happening, but this is the reign of dickbutt LJ-Killer, the guy who was like "Rarr, they are trying to ruin our good name, the users are threatening us with these complaints thinking we will bow to them and they are wrong!" (note: the new overlord of LJ actually did say this; will find sawse if you like) and the only bit of happiness I can squeeze from this is the thought that when LJ goes completely dark, even if I can't see it, his reaction will be total annoyance and frustration, and part of him will remember all of the annoyance we expressed.
And then I hope a bunch of internet news articles get printed about it, and that he is the topic of a meme, a very cruel and hilarious meme, one that features a picture of his actual face, a meme that goes super-viral, and it's a very, very unflattering meme that makes him just apeshyte. And that when questioned about it, he says "They're being childish. It's a very immature, silly thing, why should I respond to such stupidity?" because then you know that it's pissing him off hardcore.
