LJ Strikethrough '07 continues
...in a completely insidious manner. Now they're picking people off one by one.
As a permanent account holder on LiveJournal who came here in 2002 strictly for fandom purposes, I am deeply disappointed in the way 6Apart is handling supposed infractions of the ToS. Would 6Apart people like to censor all Young Adult novels in which "underage" sexual situations are depicted? Would 6Apart like to erase from our collective memories the storyline in Dawson's Creek that involved a student sleeping with a teacher, or a similar one from Boston Public? Would 6Apart like to ignore the fact that teenagers do have sex? What's next, 6A? Suspending 15-year-old LJ members because they post about their sex lives?
This is ridiculous. Words cannot express my disappointment in 6Apart. I have let two other paid LJ accounts lapse because of this, and I am not intending to renew until this persecution of fandom on LJ ceases.

Elaboration has been suspended, just shortly after an anonymous person DONATED to her a PERMANENT ACCOUNT.

bookshop's journal is the place to go for more complete information.
More info from Liz-marcs.
ETA: Go read lore's post about this too, please.
elke_tanzer also has a VERY useful post about emergency measures.
florahart is taking opinions and discussion about migrating fandom off LJ.

fandom_counts was created during the initial strike of Strikethrough, and I joined it then, though I'm honestly not sure how much good that will do.
I don't want to leave LJ. I'll be completely honest here. I like it here, I'm used to it, and I've been here for almost five years, dammit. But if I have to leave LJ, I want all of fandom to go TO THE SAME PLACE. I want someone to take the open source coding of LJ and use it to make a fandom journaling site. (No, let's not talk about JournalFen because first of all I don't want to go back to invite codes, secondly they don't have paid accounts right now, and thirdly I think "fen" is a snobby, pretentious term, there, I've said it.)
Woe.
ETA2: Something I forgot to mention - Live Journal Bans Users has been a SPONSORED LINK on Gmail RSS syndication for the past several weeks. Someone is paying money to make sure we don't forget about Strikethrough07...and they're going to have even more fodder now.
