There are tons of things about my childhood I would love to repeat- summer's off, no worries about finances, Verdolini's Pizza- but this whole Russian Scare bullsh*t is not one of them.

Anyone care to weigh in on the LJ stay/go thought trolley? All opinions respected.

Honestly, I think the biggest risk is that the servers will be taken down without notice and LJ will disappear, because the Russian authorities now have direct jurisdiction over the server location. At the very least I'm going to be backing up at DW more.

AFAIK, LJ has never really used https for anything other than login and payments, so unless people forced an https connection, then everything else -- posts, comments etc -- has always been fetched over an http connection. I'm not sure whether logins are generally still being handled securely or not (I don't understand how the pop-up login box functions) but https://www.livejournal.com/login.bml is still working fine.

Hmmm... the whole thing going poof is not something I really thought about.

I swear, I'm the only person who does not have a DW account. Lol
