WHY WE ARE HERE

This community has been created in direct response to the unsatisfactory and at times inappropriate ways in which Six Apart/LiveJournal handled first the ~~Strikethrough~~- and later the Boldout-centred events.

As it is evident from the user comments left to the recent

news and

lj_biz updates, the actions 6A/LJ has taken – or not taken – to resolve the resulting crisis have fallen short of the good service standards that customers have come to expect of LiveJournal. Being dissatisfied with the current 6A/LJ business practices, a significant number of people have declared their decision to stop the financial support of LiveJournal and terminate their paid accounts.

THE AIMS OF THIS COMMUNITY

1. To estimate the number of people whose decision to stop paying for the LiveJournal accounts was caused by their dissatisfaction and/or disagreement with the 6A/LJ behaviour in the sequence of events that started with the Strikethrough earlier this year.

2. To estimate the number of potential LJ customers who have decided not to spend money on any LJ-related products, due their dissatisfaction and/or disagreement with the 6A/LJ behaviour during and after the Strikethrough and the Boldout incidents.

3. To provide an outlet for people to openly voice their complaints and concerns about the current and future state of LiveJournal.

4. To facilitate a dialogue between the LJ customers and the company on the possible ways of rectifying the damage that has been done during the recent events.
