GreatestJournal has struck an iceberg and is sinking. Essentially admins can't be arsed to (sorry, that was harsh, but still...) give support other than to abandon ship to InsaneJournal. Not a huge surprise, but disappointing. For fun, read its news journal to listen to its resources fold and crash sequentially. The StrikeThrough exodus obviously hammered its resources beyond its capacity, and I do feel a little sorry for it -- but for those of us who had trouble differentiating between GJ and IJ, it's a bit easier now: one works, one doesn't.

It would be very smart of IJ right now to limit new journals to paid journals only.

I do think most of the people who had GJs also had placeholder IJs as well.

I certainly did. I think that they both probably endured the same post-ST2007 influx, or at least approximate, and obviously only one of them was able to cope.

As for IJ, I do hope they have a plan, in case there's a post-GJ surge. Maybe their infrastructure is already strong enough to handle it, but better safe....
