Yes they started around back during the late 90s. I don't like that LJ is a Russian site. But I don't like that Dreamwidth doesn't have this layout and a few other features. It just seems more primative. Also some friends here like Kabuldur I know never would go over there unfortunately. I do want to change my name to Scary Fear but I'm worried that will mess up the transfer. There's all kinds of issues like if I just get new accounts for both I will lose my permanent member status I have here. And both don't offer permanent accounts anymore.
