Remember yesterday's post about Scribblit and how it's not turned out to be stable? Well now there's this post. Basically the originator and former person in charge wants to retain the rights to the name SCRIBBLIT, so the new big cheese needs to come up with a new name. But that's not all.

In 90 days, there'll be a poll as to whether he should continue in charge or not. Depending on answers the site may get handed off yet again, or the shop may close completely.

And oh yeah, he's got a family and a job so this can't be along the same lines as the originator was going to do things (which was as a business, even if it was a secondary business vs her rent paying job/career).

I say again, I'm amazingly glad I made that mental switch those months ago to enjoy iJay for what it is and make it my community instead of living in limbo.

Not to mention that [info]squeaky has sincerely rocked in how he deals with things and his enthusiasm and not making iJay feel fractured or a hobby etc. iJay rather feels as stable as LJ did to me, back in 2000/2001.

Now the new big cheese of The Site Formaly Known As Scribblit has been putting a lot of man hours etc into the place. I have nothing against him. I'm just marveling at the differences in community feeling. I've been hoping that when TSFKAS opened officially, things would feel less cliqueish whereas here Squeaky manages to do his best to make a whole lot of people feel at home and at ease. I don't know how or why it is, I'm just noting it.

Anyway *hugs iJay*, it looks like I may have to reconsider where and what I want my writing journal (about writing and writing thoughts and difficulties) to be. I wanted a separate journal from this one, because this is about my day to day, and mental health, and life. And I wanted something purely about writing, authors, styles, questions, etc.
