Go get some more rest and you'll be able to figure it out.
Basically 6 Apart, parent corp of LJ, got scared of a radical pedo-hunting group threats to go public, that 6A spent memorial day weekend shutting down lots of comms and user accounts, some of which may have been truely pedo havens, but most were fiction groups and worst of all, some were pedo survivor comms.
All of which turns out to be because 6A want to be squeeky clean before it goes public and makes the current owners instant millionaires.
see this is why i keep you around john. not just because you're cute! but you've got a degree in J9-ese and can translate the big ugly words into smaller more manageable ones ^_^
I will be making corrections and adding links to sources throughout the day. LiveJournal is performing sluggishly, so I am unable to access some information. Feel free to link to it, but please do not reproduce it until I have marked it "Final."
One hurried response on the part of LJ does not justify a hurried, incomplete, and contradictory post being swallowed whole. Sorry, but this person can either post some links or go on Hoagland's show.
Money may be a motivator, but one is more likely than the other.
And that was just ONE point in this mess that doesn't jibe. And it took no time at all to come up with even the minimal info posted above. I won't even get started on the naivette didplayed about how IPOs work.
