If you were born in a box, for the past 20 hours, DeadJournal looked like LiveJournal. The rumor was that LiveJournal had bought DeadJournal. We even had a mock LiveJournal-like DeadJournal logo.

This was an april fools joke. Duh. You would not believe the amount of hate mail and bitching I recieved in the past 24 hours about it. It turns out that most of the people got the joke, but a whole buttload were freaking out and in a tizzy.. I'll post most of the good emails (without names of course) later to another community for public viewing..

A lot of planning and work went into making this happen as well as it did. I would like to publically thank Brad and Jesse from LiveJournal.com for providing me with the idea (Brad) and for letting me borrow the xcolibur theme (Brad/Jesse). Yes, Brad from LiveJournal was in on this too, and all emails sent to deadjournal-merge@livejournal.com were forwarded to him and myself..

Brad and I cooked this plan up at the start of this month, and finalized the planning about a week ago. Last night Brad called me, and it was a go.

Thanks to all who really made this worth while.. Im sorry if I struck a nerve with some of you (whom cant take a friggin joke).. For all the work I put into this place, I need to have some fun with you all once in a while.. :)

I'll be more serious here in the future, except on april fools day.. :)
