For those who don't follow [livejournal.com profile] news

but have been following the suspended journal saga (and yes, I realize that the percentage of you who haven't seen the [livejournal.com profile] news page by now will be rather small):
Six Apart's CEO admits they messed up and talks about how they're trying to fix things.

This has been pretty crazy. A lot of fandom people are still very upset. It does look like LJ is trying to set things right. But, oh my goodness, much gnarling and gnashing of teeth.

Congratulations! You have posted the 10,000th comment to this journal! I haven't got any fabulous prizes for you, but this icon has pink sapphire-like colors in it. :-)

Yeah, it does look the LJ folks are trying to clean up their mess as well as they can. I have to give them credit for the apologies and the reinstatement of a bunch of journals today, even if it did take them far too long to start talking to their angry users about the situation. Still, it seems to me that it might be a good idea for them to delay their planned sale of permanent accounts next month...
