Jan. 4th, 2008 03:49 pmWell, it's pretty much as official as it gets. GreatestJournal is dead. After months and months of increasing buggy functionality, after user icon allotments went from 2000 to 100 to 10 (and now, rumor has it to 5 just because the owner is an ass), after private messages went bye-bye, after comment notification failed, and various other issues went unresolved--and questions and complaints went unanswered for months--the owner/system administrator has posted to the News community.
His post, in its entirety:
there are various issues with GJ - at this point we don't have the resources to fix them / update code and servers (we tried for months). Site and Journals stay ASIS and won't get lost.
We recommend http://InsaneJournal.com with brand new servers and highly motivated admin and mods.
You can alwas export current Journals and Comments here:

Does this mean the site is already dead, and will simply drift without any administration until the domain expires and attempts to reach pages there go 404?
My guess is, probably.
I had a couple of journals there for role-playing games, but I wasn't heavily invested in the site. Fortunately, I also have journals on LiveJournal, InsaneJournal, JournalFen and Scribblit. Sayonara, GJ.
