sad ending

killer whale sculpture, inner harbour, Victoria BC


I think I am still in shock over the loss of journalspace! I am really going to miss it. I've been there since June of 2004, and it helped me get through a long distance relationship (an uncertain one!) with Bill. I spent a lot of lonely hours at journalspace, but I met a lot of wonderful people.
I always paid for pro-access, even when I was broke. I found it fascinating to follow the statistics, and that is something I definitely miss here. The homepage was a constant source of entertainment, but also showed how much JSers cared about one another. The games, the meme's - I hope a lot of this stuff continues amongst those of us who are starting over.
And I want to thank everyone that ever stopped by my old place. You made it a great experience.

  1. I know what you mean, this place is very isolated without a homepage where everyone can interact and see what everyone is doing and saying.

    I miss the stats too, I was coming up to 20,000 and hoped to make it by Christmas.

  2. Even though I didn't update that much lately, I am really missing JS too.
    I am still finding old JS'ers but its not that easy.

    Happy New Year

  4. yeah I miss JS as well..
    the way the site was laid out made so much sense..navigation even when the "new" interface was installed,was still quicker than most sites.
    Hopefully someone gets the source code and does something good with it.

  6. Your journal was the one that got me started at JS. I cannot believe how sad this makes me.
