interested in a livejournal community?

[owl]

i was wondering if any people would be interested if i started a livejournal community to discuss scientology? it's easier to make posts and follow them, reply to people's comments/threads, and the entries could be made private so only members could read them (help weed out OSA). let me know

Thanks. I looked over that one. If you started a account there for ex-scios, I doubt if I would take part.

Owl, why don't you create a scientology zone at LiveJournal. I've never used that system before, so I don't know if I'd like it or not, but maybe it's great. Hearing about it is one thing, driving it is another. I didn't used to like message boards, until I found this one.

One concern I would have is; if your 'journal' got successful, would scientology harass the LiveJournal people, and try to shut your journal down, like they do everything else they're threatened by. From my point of view, that's not as much of a concern at ESMB, because the software (I think) is open source, and it operates on its own computer. So at least ESMB can go find another provider to run the software on. But with closed source, at LiveJournal, I suspect that may not be an option. Also, with a url like http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/ -- where you don't own the domain name, you never know who's going to buy the LiveJournal.com people out, in which case you'd be at the mercy of the new owner's policies. And even if you could use their software with 'your' own domain name, they still control the software running your system -- so you'd still up against the same issues.
