For those in fandom...Scribblit is to have servers in Canada. Canadian Child Porn laws are much stricter than the US, and even Australia. Text, or image, fictional characters or not, is illegal under the current Canadian law, if the characters involved are underage and the material is sexually explicit. At least, that's what I understand to be true. If someone wants to clarify, by all means.

I don't want to debate the law here, because my understanding of it is not that good, and because I don't need the wank from those that are for or against the law.

What I do think is that fandom needs to do to is either find a journalling place somewhere that allows for more leeway on this material, or have someone in one of those places create one.

more on this here in maeglinyedi's journal.

Nice response there Burr86. Really
And He just keeps digging

I'm sure mocking those that are irate about this will win them over. Surely, that's the way to go here.

ETA: I'm all for him having opinions and expressing them, but to mock the people involved with a username that has interacted with the affected persons in a somewhat official-ish way? And more than that, in a public community? Not exactly the brightest thing to do.

One of the funnier and hotter things to come out of StrikeThrough2007

If you haven't heard already there's a response to the recent journal suspensions in news. Do I wish there was a response earlier? Yes, but let's face it, LJ was fucked no matter what they did, especially since they suspended one of the heavyweights in a huge fandom. While I don't like saying it, I doubt the response would have been quite so large and angry, if fandom hadn't been hit.

I do appreciate, however, that they did make a statement.

Also...is it horrible that I'm considering a permaccount? Not because I've had my faith renewed in LJ/6A, I want to see more on this suspension issue, and have things clarified, but...the exchange rate right now is really good. I've spent more than holy shit 400 USD on LJ. Most in gifts, granted, but 100 USD or so was for me, and I kinda want a permaccount, because of the Canadian Dollar drops (which it probably will in the coming years), I don't want to feel like I'm paying 50 CAD/year for my journal, you know? I'd rather pay the 160-170 CAD (depending on the exchange rate I get) now.

We started the year with Horsefucker, and have moved into LJ-Deletegate Strikethrough 2007. What a year for the wank.

ETA: And we have Icons!
