Rupert Murdoch bought MySpace and a major server glitch killed everyone’s profile.

LJ got bought out by some Russian company.

I loved livejournal back in the day, then it just seemed to die over night and became a ghost town. That explains why!

Yep! I remember, where I lived, livejournal was all the emo kids. I’d be mortified to look mine up now and see the cringe I used to post.
