Apparently the sky is falling...

...only it's not, really.

LJ sacked about 25% of the San Francisco office staff. Not the 30-60% (and higher) that's been floating around in the rumorsphere. What's particularly ironic is that this was being reported by Gawker Media's ValleyWag, the victim of huge layoffs (60%, well, 3 of 5 people) back in October.

Gawker has since revised down their original numbers (20 of 28 staffers fired!) after Livejournal, Inc. released a statement to cnet.

It's ValleyWag. It's a tech business rumors blog. Rarely is anything ever as bad as they initially report.

that being said...still doesn't give an answer to my original question...which archive is best?

[howeird]

I like ljArchive, it's simple, quick, downloads posts *and* comments, has several good search features, and exports to HTML if you want. Nice, clean interface. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljarchive/

Backups are a Good Thing.

excellent. thank you. i'm not a technical person at all, so i'm gonna have to figure out how it all works. but at least i have a stepping off point

I'll be happy to help. The main hint is when you have it installed and running, click File and New Archive and follow the prompts from there.
