Since everyone else is doing it:

I'm very amused at people on LJ flailing about, assuming the site is going to be shut down, just because some people got made redundant. Funnily enough, it's a recession, that's the sort of thing that tends to happen in recessions - the news is full of it (or was before there was Gaza and cold and lack of trains).

LJ's so successful that it's unlikely to go under any time soon and if it did there'd be more warning than that, I imagine. M&S closing down some stores was more interesting news on the same lines, although in retrospect not a surprise given that people are trying to shop more cheaply.

My blog and LJ are both automatically backed up. The blog's backed up to a Gmail account every week and since I never delete any emails, just archive them, I have every comment anyone's ever posted too, in the unlikely instance I ever remember that any exist.
