My Fellow DeadJournalians,

For the past 5 years I have funded and ran this site entirely by myself. All while holding a full time job as a Pharmacist. For the past year this site has caused me more headaches and anxiety that I could have ever anticipated.

As a last ditch effort to save my sanity and keep the site running, I approached Brad from LiveJournal.com hoping he would take over the site to keep the community running. To my surprise, he responded favorably and we got started on details.

For the past month we have been integrating the business and technical sides of the two sites.

I feel that this change is for the better of both sites and will cause the community to grow as a whole.

If you have any comments, please mail them to deadjournal-merge@livejournal.com.

Thanks,

Frank

	To all deadjournal members who like the dark layout I have a perfect idea... Either stay on your journal, and communicate with your fiends... on your friends list. (Reply to this)

"April Fools 2004-04-01 Heh... Keep in mind everybody that it's April Fools today. (For international readers: Apr. 1 is our "joke/prank day") This flood of lawsuit threats and hate mail seems to be slightly above average... I can't decide if it's legit, or it's just your April Fools jokes back at us. Surely a few of you have a sense of humor. :-) I have to assume the people not mailing us are the amused ones. lj_serialadder is a fake account. It's a joke targetting all the hubbub in lj_biz lately about serial adders. Nobody hacked your journal and added "Stalking" and "Stalked by" instead of "Friends" and "Friend of". It's a joke emphasizing people's concerns about how the "Friend of" label is bad, and they want a difference between friends/reading/trust/know-in-real-life/etc. LJ didn't buy DeadJournal. (that's their prank) Also didn't buy ljdrama.org. Their prank again. etc, etc." (Reply to this)

	because I totally fell for it. Heels over head backwards. Very good prank, I'm not dissappointed in the least. I should've known anyone messed up enough to run DJ would do some huge prank on everyone. *applaudes* well done. (Reply to this)

=D Awesome April Fools joke. I turned to my Deadjournal to update at about 12:30am (yes..on a school night for I have little to no life at all ;) )) and I almost had a heart attack seeing all the whiteness! At first, I thought I was perhaps, going to heaven... or maybe... maybe it was just a glitch. But nah. Soon figured out that its an April's Fool joke (after a friend helped to remind me that it was indeed April Fools day..lol)). All in all, good joke. ^^ ...>> ..Just turn it back soon. Lol. IT BURRRRRNS! The dark is good... ... Dark is good... Dark is good..::huddles in a corner, hugging my knees:: (Reply to this)

	Personally, I blame Richard Simmons last bowel movement for this gay shit. Brad, whoever the fuck you are... I hate you.. and.. uh.. livejournal.com has always sucked. (Reply to this)

	So.Bright. Ow. The livejournalish comment features are a definite departure from the original style. DJ is still the best journal site out there, but hopefully it wont turn into Livejournal completely. I AMmmmmmmmmmmmm The Kool-Aid man (Reply to this) (Thread)
