raise your hands? who has a bet on this happening?
Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beaniesheppard for the link.
Brad flees, flees, flees to less frighteningly incompetent pastures. Though I wanted to do a Titanic comparison, really, that's so overdone. Let's think--oh. Pompeii. With the falling ash of death.
Okay, I have never been one of those "i want to marry brad people" (though I did see a picture of him today--he's fairly hot. Huh.), but....
Think he might take us with him?
Or let us buy Livejournal ourselves? I have to say--seeing the current administration--I cannot see how we could do much worse.

From:...hopefully no one would think to send a smutbasket.
I mean, you know I love Our People. But I'd have to bet that someone would in fact, send a smutbasket. *sad*

From:I think it's pretty bad timing for this to be coming out. I want to be angry and say something about rats and sinking ships, however I don't think this is the case. I don't think it's some kind of snap decision based on recent events more this was the straw that finally broke the camel's back. it must be torture to think you are selling your creation into the hands of competent people, only to watch said company slowly destroy it piece by piece.
Personally, I wish him luck. Hopefully he finds what he's looking for with Google, and who knows, maybe they'll come up with some better community blogging software than is currently on offer as a result of him joining them.
And god, yes. I wish I could by LJ. We couldn't possibly make it worse at this point.

From:And pretty much agreed.
I honestly cannot think how we *could* make it worse. Though granted, even if it was worse? I think we'd have more fun at it.

From:Well, we'd communicate with the people, so that would be one improvement for a start. Second, We'd clarify our TOS straight away. I think we're winning already. :oD
And yeah, at least we'd have fun killing it...

From:I think that his leaving was set for a while and then this happened and then 6A said "OMG TELL NO ONE" and well, it all just sort of makes me laugh hysterically because it's just-- perfect timing in general.

From:If 6A have to get money to do that, fine. Ultimately, their crap customer service will kill the company. Let it be after LJ isn't in their hands anymore.
