ARGH.

Oh, my God, somebody make me stop refreshing my friends list to read another five thousand posts about the Strikeout and go finish editing my Bigbang.

*cries*

And because I'm not all that enthused about talking about it anymore, I'm talking about it now.

"Dude, we fucked up."

In other words, an official response from 6A/LJ that can be summed up as, "D'oh!"

Barak's getting ripped for not responding sooner, the comment about "the community we 'built'," and going to the media before coming to us, not to mention bunches of comments from paid users saying they won't be renewing their accounts. It's pretty much fandom as a whole smacking him and them upside the head to knock some sense into them. If they can't learn their lesson from the fact that their apology post managed to garner sixteen freaking pages of comments in the handful of minutes since it was first posted, I'm going to start believing monkeys throw their crap around professionally in their offices and just call themselves a company.

But, hey, better late than never. It's a step in the right direction. Uh, I can't come up with any other cliches this late at night/early in the morning.

... okay, we porn now, yis? *doe eyes*
