I think the LJ clones (JournalFen, GreatestJournal, Blurty, InsaneJournal) are working from the source code that LJ/6A put out so they should all support the same features unless for some reason, the site admins tinker with things to take load off the servers.

Reading through the other comments, I’m realizing how important the cut-tag is! That’s easily solved with Wordpress and other clones with the “read more” tag though, the cut-tag is nice because you can plop it into the middle of a sentence.

As for the issue of where to move to, do fandom participants want to stay centralized and be subject to one entity’s whims? The other option is to decentralize and start independent blogs but that takes effort, more time, more money, and sometimes, technical know-how which makes places like LJ so attractive because of the ability to do all that without technical know-how.

Oh if only there were a fork of Wordpress that catered to fandom needs.
