After being on LiveJournal for almost 4 years, I feel as if it's changed a lot since I first started.
The fandom communities used to be small, simple and peaceful. As the number of users grew, the amount of community members also grew which slowly took away the tight-knit feeling. Seeing how DW has an invite-only feature, I can safely say that this might discourage troll and spam journals from being created and also attract people who are more serious in joining.
Second, the staff here is very open to user input which was one of the downsides of LiveJournal. I'm looking forward to communicating with a staff that will actually try to fulfill the requests of users.
And finally, I wanted a fresh start. I'm hoping that this smaller population will help me connect with people better and not have to worry about friend-whores and whatnot.
I hope you read this comment and consider purchasing an account for me.
