swan_towerSince Livejournal changed their terms of service and the mass exodus began, I haven’t had a single comment on the LJ versions of these posts. Accordingly, I am going to cancel and remove that blog. If you’re still reading via LJ, I suggest you transfer to one of these options:
* the WordPress original (you can subscribe via the widget in the sidebar or checking a tickybox when commenting on a post, or add it to an RSS reader like Feedly)
* the Dreamwidth mirror
I’ll be shutting down the LJ in a few days, so make your changes now!

Date: 2017-05-06 05:31 pm (UTC)If you use a Mac, you can use SiteSucker to download LJ (or any other site); I used it a couple weeks ago and it seems to do an ok job with what it pulled, but I don't know if it got a complete copy of everything since it's designed for regular sites, not LJ. (ETA: Because this is pulling from the open web, it won't save private entries. I was using it to save comms I don't own, so that was fine for me, but presumably won't help with your own journal.)
This has a couple options as well, though I haven't tried them: http://projects.metafilter.com/4988/Livejournal-Archive-Tools (ETA: I tried this one out of curiosity's sake and while it does successfully download the entries, it doesn't seem to grab comments.)
