Oh look - an update!
Hello everyone!

I hope that all is well now that we are into summer. I just wanted to post a quick news update to let people know what is going on here at LostJournal.

As a lot of you probably are aware, there is a lot of drama flying around regarding fandom and suspensions. I have received numerous IM's and emails from various users inquiring if LostJournal is at risk of the same thing happening. Here is what our position is:

LostJournal is as susceptible to legal issues as much as every other site out there. If an issue does come up that threatens us legally, we will work to insure that every decision is in the best interest of both the LostJournal community, and as a business. We are a small site, but as I have said to others that have asked - I cannot promise that action will not be taken if we receive a report.

This being said, however, over the past (almost) 2 years that LostJournal has been up and running, we have received 1 report regarding a conflict of some-sort. To be honest - you guys are the most mature and well-behaved bloggers I have ever interacted with. LostJournal is something that I have put blood*, sweat and tears into, and to see what it has become is something that I never imagined. Now that we've covered that, onto the fun stuff!

suggestions is now open to, well, suggestions! Please feel free to post what you would like to see happen on LostJournal. A few things I will clear up before I get 50 posts for the same thing:

Userpics: We know you want more, and we are working to give you more. No, we will never be able to match other sites, but gradually we will increase the limits as we increase our storage space.
Gifts for other users: Yes! Right now it is purely a coding issue, and as soon as we get around this bump it will be live.
Hide friends-of: I am still trying to understand this feature, as it is possible to remove someone from your friends-of list by banning them using the console. Can someone (1 or 2 people, not 50 :) comment and let me know so I can better understand this.
Pictures: We do offer photo hosting built-into LostJournal. It is a paid feature, however, and at this time there is no plan to offer a free version.

That is all for now. Thank you everyone :)
