Wait, what?

Wait, WHAT? SixApart just announced that they've sold LJ to SUP International whosits.

I'm just gonna hang out here until someone figures out what this means. (As I only know SUP from posts on no_lj_ads, in which people talk a lot about privacy issues and poor coding issues. The whole list is tagged here.)

WTF? Isn't that the Russian company that all the Russians on LJ hate so much that they asked if they could please just use the US company instead?

This is gonna be. Um. Maybe we should all move to JournalFen?

[eruthros]

Yes. It is indeed that Russian company.

Please help me here...

I am still very new to LJ, so it would be nice to know if I need to go somewhere else.

What are the issues here and what are the potential solutions?

We don't know yet! We know that SUP has been serving the Russian lj population for about a year now, and that the Russian lj-ers have been complaining. But this is going to be a new system, and nobody's yet explained the details. I think we pretty much just have to wait and see what they do.
