We have an apology...

LJ issues a statement

Well, took 'em long enough, but looks like our journals are going back up. They better, or there'll be hell to pay.

At least they are admitting they made a mistake.

ETA: Reading through the comments to the post, I'm starting to feel sympathy and a tiny bit of admiration for barakb25. None of it excuses the complete lack of communication (not to mention the absolute fuck-up in the first place), but he sounds sincere, apologetic, and dignified in his statements. (Chris Williams, start taking notes - this is how you apologise!) Of course, I retain the right to withdraw this comment if the communities and journals don't get back up in the next couple of days :)

I still think they should have put out some sort of official word - but at the same time, I can see the point that saying something and then having to backtrack would have been even worse for everyone involved.

So I'll wait and see if things come back up, I guess.

[ashavah]

They are coming back up.

Yay!

(And in an act of shameless self-promotion, I shall mention that I just wrote a long thinky Harry Potter post you might find interesting here (http://lyore.livejournal.com/53305.html))
