Livejournal and greatestjournal

LJ is down due to server migration. I didn't know it was going to happen! It seems like it will be back in 4 hours.

Also, Greatestjournal doesn't allow me to post. It says "updating of journals and communities currently disabled. " What happened?

PS: Is Insanejournal slow to everyone or is just me?

I think GreatestJournal went belly up about a year ago or so.

I imagine most of our flists will end up here during the interruption in service. Hopefully, the transfer will go without a hitch and we'll be back up by this evening.
OMG! I didn't know GJ was not available anymore. :(

Is good to know you're around, hopefully, many will come. Still, is very slow and the pages take ages to load or don't at all.
Yeah, I noticed the very slow loading, too. We're very spoiled over at LJ, even with all the irritating things they do.
Yes, even if they have no idea of how to be customer oriented I think that technically they're better than most of the other blog services.
*waves hi*
I just tried to open my F-List in GJ and noticed: nothing! I get the same link about updating, I didn't know that thinks got wonky there.
You should track my tag "LJ" by example, I've posted about it.
~ No wonder that IJ is slow when GJ is kaput and LJ down. *grumble*

The site is down now. Status says:

"LiveJournal is currently down due to migration to a new server facility. The window of planned downtime is from 8 a.m. to noon PST (4 p.m. to 10 p.m. GMT/UTC) on Tuesday, November 18, 2008."


I wonder who's right (but I fear the worst).
Because the status says now: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. GMT/UTC *no clue*
And when LJ is back I expect it to be verrrrry slow at first :|
No wonder the IJ is slow
LJ is up again, I'm getting notifications from an entry.

GJ is no more, it looks like it halted and you can't do anything there.
Yup, sadly so (GJ).
Just tried LJ, it works. I could even edit my entry (normal) and load my user pics (quick as normal). I feared worst. I'll wait a bit and go through LJ. It should stay now. *hopes*

Now when my emails get through I'm happy.
Well but I can't edit a comment *g*
LJ said in the LJ news too that the IP adress will change. I still have the email:

New servers mean new IP addresses, so it's possible that LJ mail might not reach your email inbox because your email provider or client doesn't recognize the new IP addresses. We're working with email providers to whitelist the new IPs. There are a few things you can do on your end:

Add these two IP addresses to your "allowed senders" list (or whitelist) and address book in your email client: 208.93.0.18 and 208.93.0.50. These are the new IPs for sending comments notifications and LJ mail to your email inbox.

Add lj_notify@livejournal.com and webmaster@livejournal.com to your email address book.

If you can't edit the spam or junk filters in your email client, you may need to disable them entirely. Make these changes just before 8:00 a.m. PST on Tuesday morning or shortly after the site comes back up to ensure that your LJ mail makes it to your inbox.
Lets see how it works, in the meantime, I have access to my LJ and have gotten email notifications which I think is positive. :)

LJ is slow though. But it was expected. :D
