Well we can go and talk on stuff all on our own - but rather I think that is more of the problem that /they/ should be concerned with... We'll come up with all sorts of lovely things - which have a basis in truth and they can't say no wait that's not what we meant, or you are interpreting the text from the wrong perspective.

I totally understand not wanting to stretch yourself out, but if you are mirroring the news, then why disable the comments?

And hosting it on LiveJournal - while there are a good many fans on livejournal, there are many that have problems with it... Additionally LiveJournal isn't really a site that has respect in general...

It just strikes me that if they were going to centralise it - wouldn't it be better off being central on their own website, own turf, own terms? They can still mirror things elsewhere to invite users to respond, but it makes it less dependant on another company....

...a transformative work, in other words. ;-)

*nods* It isn't difficult to set up an independent blog. It seems particularly weird, as you say, to pick LiveJournal as the central site, because this excludes fans who already left LJ because they didn't want to support Six Apart (or SUP, now).
