I visited livejournal for the first time in months yesterday (even though I don't use it anymore for obvious reasons), only to find out that they discontinued the Flexible Squares and Smooth Sailing styles.

Now, for those of you who didn't know, these two were the most popular styles among designers. It was just so easy to pull out a cool design using any of these two bases. I've made lots of Flexible Squares and Smooth Sailing designs (I took all of them down when I abandoned livejournal, I'll show you sometime if I can retrieve some previews). I think I made more than 100 layouts for livejournal using these two in total. Maybe even more!

And that sucks. Not that I care, but people new to livejournal won't be able to use these thousands and thousands of layouts made by people over the years! Lots of work gone to waste.

So yeah, livejournal keeps digging its own grave. I hope Dreamwidth will keep alive and kicking for many, many more years.
