Could there be some kind of Resurrection Day millenial hope that a new server system could raise up all the old archives from the dead into a new life, reborn and free from sin?
Actually, yes: there are other systems like deadjournal and insanejournal that use basically the same software, and there are systems like ljmigrate that will copy all of your posts and comments to such an LJ-compatible system (or, if you prefer, just back them up to your local filesystem).
Have there been posts of great literary value mixed in amongst the friendly chat, recipes, gripes, and grunts that make up the bulk of what I've been reading here?
Occasionally :-)
Contestants are invited to complete this sentence:
In the future, we will want to "look up old entries" in order to...
For the same reasons I occasionally read old (dead-tree-technology) diary entries or old e-mails: both to remind myself of facts, and to remind myself of who I was, what my concerns were, etc. back then.
