ash48I'm away from LJ for a day and I come back and there was a randomness posting day?! And I missed it?!! Boooooo!...though also YAAAY! Awesomesauce because lots of posts!! \o/ though...boooo, no way I'm going to have a chance to comment because I'm with my family (on the other side of the country) and spending time on the computer instead of with them is probably not a great thing. But then again...you guys are family too!
LJ is still wonderful. Even with Twitter and tumblr I think this is the best place to have really good discussions and get to know people. And make detailed posts and feel like a part of a real community. *hearts* the LJ community.
I've been thinking we might need an "active" LJ user friending thingy because I think there are more and more fans (re) discovering LJ and people might want to know who's out there. Maybe?
*hugs* ya all.

Also agree with you on a possible friending meme. :D
HAPPY VACATIONING!! ♥

Date: 2014-07-09 06:33 pm (UTC)I love LJ too. I'm not on Twitter because I still dislike the format and it's just too much to keep up with (besides LJ I'm also on Facebook and Tumblr), and I like Tumblr but it's just not the same as LJ. At least it's easier to post long discussions, fic, and have conversations on LJ.
Love you, hon! *hugs*

But you're so right about LJ still being wonderful, o dear Mme Vidding Queen. And [though, they have their perks,] Twitter + Tumblr are not everyone's cup of tea...
*raises hand theatrically*
The more I appreciate my Good Ole LJ and the way we are becoming friends here - especially in Teh Hottie Show fandom.
*nods**nods*
So enjoy the time off with your family, dear and thx for your umm... 'belated' randomness, meep.^^

Date: 2014-07-09 10:10 pm (UTC)LJ's definitely my platform of choice for all the reasons you list. I felt like the activity on LJ was dying down, but my flist got a good boost from the friending meme that stir_of_echoes hosted. :)

Date: 2014-07-10 01:35 am (UTC)With the friending thing, I'm wondering if it might be about peeps who are active (and don't mind new followers) listing themselves in the comments - and people who might be new to LJ (coming over from tumblr, or just want to see more people on their flist) take a look and can see who to follow. Hmmm....might even be able to include comms. *headscratch* not sure....
My vacation is off to a good start!

Date: 2014-07-10 01:38 am (UTC)LJ WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST.
The last two days have made me so happy. I hope this keeps up. I would totally be into an active friending meme. I think if other people are posting regularly, it will make me feel more inspired to post.

Date: 2014-07-10 11:09 am (UTC)But why do I need a friending meme, when I have a personl pimp?
Edit: I seem to have also been absent during this high posting period. Can we have a re-do?

Date: 2014-07-10 11:12 am (UTC)And it looks like random posting day was fun!
(and man, I'm sorry for being so slack on the vid reccing. I just can't seem to get my act together on them.../o\)

Date: 2014-07-10 11:15 am (UTC)Oh so true. I find I have to been in a certain frame of mind when I delve into tumblr. Often I'm pleasantly surprised when I go on. The people I follow tend to blog and re-blog great stuff.
Yay! Block party! :D

Date: 2014-07-11 11:34 am (UTC)And I am wondering how on earth I missed that friending meme! I can't believe it. But it's great that there was one - it's a cool way to find new friends! :))

Date: 2014-07-11 11:37 am (UTC)I often hear people say how quiet LJ is, and yet there are still people posting lots of stuff. I think because twitter and tumblr are good place for insta posting (and great for those instant thoughts) LJ often gets forgotten.
no subject
Date: 2014-07-11 11:38 am (UTC)I might think about how to do an "active LJ fan" friending meme. :)))
