Seriously considering a move

brainofckI have put a lot of effort into Greatest Journal, where I am http://brainofck.greatestjournal.com. At the end of August, I made it mostly inward-looking and self-referencing. I need to fix up the new posts starting in September. But I just peeked over there.
No advertising.
100 free icons.
Fewer layouts for clods like me that don't create their own layouts.
But you know. A nice little place to pitch my tent.
I know a lot of people have gone to Insane Journal, but it is just FULL of advertising. Though I do have a journal there. http://brainofck.insanejournal.com.
If I decided to pull up the tent stakes, this is what I will do.
I will continue to announce new stories in the LJ communities, but I will link over to Greatest Journal.
I will post the same announcements here that I post in the LJ communities, so if you are a friend of this journal, you won't miss the porn.
But the porn will live over there.
And over there, I will post a linky back to LJ, in case you want to comment here instead of there.
I'm not sure I'm going to do it yet, but I am very seriously considering it.
The free 100 icons is almost enough to tempt me to move my RL journal, too. But I have a big friend base here, so probably will not. Though that attitude may change next year when Six Apart tries to get money from me again.
Anyway, gonna sleep on it a little. But yeah. I think there's a more than 50/50 chance that this last move by TPTB has made it so that I no longer care to be a tool of this corporation.
