The exodus continues...

Thanks to tijae for passing on this info:

Dreamwidth gained 12,691 new users yesterday!

That's on top of the 9,350 gained on Wednesday.

Sweet!

Oh, definitely! I'm meeting and talking with all sorts of people that I never would have seen/"met" otherwise. It's obviously hard to leave behind the comfort that comes with a familiar situation, but meeting new people can be fun, too.

[epilady]

Totally!

And while I definitely need to port my pre-existing communities over here, it will be cool to see what new communities and connections can get formed out of this.

As an example, hi there! I recognize you from the News post, which, btw, we appear to have CRASHED. I'm getting a "this part of the database is currently down for maintenance" error.

So either we crashed it under the weight of OH HELL NO, or they've locked it up because they wanted it gone.

[quarantedeux]

I'm pretty sure that LJ crashed it for us. *conspiracy theory*

[aka_plynn]

Yeah, it's hard not to think that it's been shut down purposefully. 10k posts on ONTD don't break the database any more after all.

My patience is wearing really frakking thin now.

[quarantedeux]

Ditto.

Just like I told someone on the releases post: I think that blocking/taking down the news page with 8500+ comments pissed me off twice as much as I already was.

It's obvious that someone (whether it's the LJ staff or the owners, I don't know) is just trying to ignore the complaints. Lovely.

Oh, I am wearing my tin hat right now, yeah. I think they just don't want people to have a place to vent/drop DW codes anymore.

Did you notice anonymous comments on it were disabled after a while? I really think they just crashed it.
