Russian LiveJournal

[valiha]

I decided to install the Stylish extension and this userscript because I was getting fed up looking at the blinking icons every time I went to the home page to upload a pic to Scrapbook or do some layout tweaks, and noticed in one of the comments a question of why the English version of LJ doesn't have a nice layout like the Russian LJ. I clicked on the link provided.

Lo and behold.

. o_O .. O_O ...

It looks so... modern. And it shows you your stats! Why can't we get something like that? Or at least an option for us to customize the main page according to our needs. I know that not everyone uses it, but I do, since that's where all the links to layout management and customization are, and that's my starting point for working as a mod - managing the comm, members, posts waiting for moderation in the queue, invitations...

I hate having to look at all that crap they've piled on the page, even if it's for the time it takes me to go somewhere else. I had to enable Cyrillic services just so I wouldn't have to look at it while signed in. :(

People on English version of LJ whine about SUP a lot too. They're not satisfied with the way they've been constantly disregarded and ignored. Paid users are especially upset, since they're not getting the service for free. Some of them have invested a lot of money into several accounts. I'm subscribed to news and I see a lot of legitimate complaints (of course, there are those who just want to troll).

The only reason I enabled it was to see the latest comments made in my journal. I'm not actually sure what enabling it entails. O_O Can you explain it to me, please?

Alas, I'm not sure what it does entail save for stats - until today I didn't know that entailed comments (was fairly sure that link http://www.livejournal.com/tools/recent_comments.bml worked before all that talks about Cyrillic services....).
