Oh, I thought you were leaving after your paid account ended; I misunderstood. It does suck to be paid through for so long.
A lot of people have said they're staying. Personally, I'm really really interested in fandom constructing a place of it's own, and I feel like it's sort of a "if you build it they will come" situation. I don't mean necessarily that they fandom will leave lj, but that they will interact with the new place enough such that those who don't have ljs any more are still getting the fandom experience they want. Maybe that's a naive hope of mine, but believing in it is part of the reason I made the decision to leave.
Even if LJ did something really major to clean this whole mess up, I think I'd still be leaving. I mean, if a restaurant makes me wait and gives me bad food and bad service, even if they comp my meal and gaurantee better service next time, I probably still wouldn't go back.
