Wait, what?

LJ IS FUCKING UP AGAIN.

In a very weird and confusing way. I saw this first on beandelphiki's journal.

Apparently, 6A/SUP have disappeared a bunch of interests off the "Most Popular Interests" page, those being

Sex, Boys, Guys, Girls, Fanfiction, Yaoi, Hardcore, Porn, Bondage, Faeries, Pain, Depression, Bisexuality

What? What what? Makes no sense! Also, makes me unhappy. I've no idea what to make of it. Here's the source where Bean got the info from.

My paid account expires in May. I am seriously considering going back to a basic account.

ETA: Also, another idea I had. Someone should open up a comm where people can offer their old LJ's for new users to take over. Considering that new journals cannot be downgraded all the way to basic anymore, no old user should delete or abandon their journals. If someone wants to leave, they could put their journal up 'for sale' at that comm, for new users to take it over. Using ljArchive, the old user could backup their journal and then delete their entries, and all the new user would have to do was change the password, and optionally pay for a new name. I don't know if this is a good idea, but it's crossed my mind and I thought I'd put it out there.

WTF?

He, I think it is an absolutely great idea to open up a comm where people can offer their old LJ's for new users to take over.

That is an excellent idea, re the old journal comm. I have at least one spare journal I could do that with, it has basically no entries anyhow.

Oh God, lol. And not. My favourite one is 'depression'. Can't have misery round here, bringing everyone down.

The interests they have chosen to erase present a very peculiar world view on 6A/SUP's part :D

I'm growing to hate LJ more and more.

It bothers me that they're censoring 'fanfiction' as an interest, too. Could this mean they're going to start banning/deleting accounts of people who write fanfic?
