i've had an LJ for almost four years now and i've never had trouble with it. teh downloadable client is easy to use and makes it unnecessary to remember tags. Livejournal is easy to customize and fair to non-paying members. also, the communities cover every topic one can imagine, so it's easy to find something you like (or dislike) and enter into discussion with other people about it. as of right now, i have nothing but kind words for LJ!
