For the next LJ Power Outage of Doom. Of whatever else may happen.
P.S.: The best reason I have for staying is that the same thing will happen to other journals, too. I don't think anyone is targeting fandom, but there are parts of fandom that are really close to the people that are being targeted, and those are the ones that have to suffer. But every social network site will have to implement a policy against pedophiles one day, and targeting child pornography will be a part of that. Which means that no matter where we are, chan and underage will be a reason for suspension, at least if it is represented visually.
And don't think this would be different if fandom had its own place. The only difference would be that if the maintainers of such a place wouldn't act against child pornography (again, not going into definitions here), the whole site would be a target.
