- In August, due to a rumor that Yahoo!Groups was removing users who were lurking on mailing lists in this fandom, a number of mailing lists saw an increase in participation so that would not happen. While this rumor was not true, and Yahoo was only removing people who had e-mail accounts bouncing in excess of six months, it did not stop a certain level of hysteria.

On January 24, 2008, misskitten on FanLib said of this community,
- It may be for some fandsoms, but not all. Some of my fandoms are well-repressented on LJ, but I wouldn’t say any of them are the main channel for that fandom’s fanwork. For Firefly I would say the main channel is Fireflyfans.net, for Gilmore Girls I would say Fanfiction.net and BWR are the main channels. Firefly seems well-repressented on LJ, at least to my impression, though I’m not an LJ user, but I can’t say GG has that strong a presence on LJ, at least not that big a group… [6]
