Leaving LJ:
Short version: Livejournal’s servers are now in Russia. If you still do journaling that is not tumblr then Dreamwidth is where most people are migrating to. The link above has more info on the backstory behind LJ as well as links at the end of the post on how to migrate your content over to DW intact. (Highly recommended. Have been on DW since it was beta. Was on LJ since September 2000).
Yes, I am officially old.
