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

	Okay, um so what the fuck? I understand that this is too much for you and I sympathize....but does the site really need to look like Livejournal? I feel like I've been bought. Careful, or people will move to Xanga. (Reply to this)

	although, since you have shown that it is possible to have so many additions and changes to DJ, maybe such LJ-like options can be made available to DJ users as well -- for free I might add *wink*. and fuck if I'm talking about the layout, the LJ layout sucks man, and that's the truth.

	Look, white is a happy color and so is blue and any combination thereof. I want dismal blacks and purples because I signed up for them. I signed up for a mood as well as a message board. Kudos if it is a prank, but if not I have a feeling I will be leaving this journal site and taking others with me. (Reply to this)
