Problems on LJ?

[rhythmaning]

Following matgb's post the other day comes another warning that all may not be well in LJ-land, which fruminousb linked to.

Just in case, I have exported all my entries - you can save the files as XML or CSV (I did both!) - going for CSV is easier, since it automatically saves the files for you with the year and month reference.

I hope that it's a rumor. :(

However, there have started to be posts from volunteers and staff that suggest that while the numbers in the Gawker article are wrong, there are big layoffs afoot.

But it would be great if it were a scam of some sort.

Hmm, yes, evidence. I also saw something in an employee's blog that may support the rumour. Or it may not - I couldn't tell.

I'm taking the approach of backing up to be on the safe side and hope that it isn't as bad as it appears.
