LiveJournal Buyout Confirmed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-beginnings dept.

Kingfox writes "Brad Fitzpatrick, creator of LiveJournal, finally confirms the story that was posted to Slashdot yesterday. Six Apart has purchased Danga. This means that they're moving to San Francisco, LiveJournal users are finally getting the trackback feature, but the project will stay open source, and little else will change for the end user."

  1. Hey, amateur porn is where it's at... by Grendel+Drago · · Score: 4, Informative

    So long as the amateur porn stays in place, and I can continue to co-admin my porn community, then all is well. (You need to get an account to read the community, and list a valid 18+ birthdate, and submit a join-request. This is so the community doesn't get deleted. It's a CYA maneuver by the livejournal administration to ensure that everybody who watches porn can lie about their age.)

    I wrote this script after hearing the rumours.. can also be a good thing if you just want a backup of your livejournal.
