There's an awful lot that needs doing to DD to bring it into line with latest web technologies. For one thing it looks horrid on the iPhone ;-). I can't give any promises if/when those changes will be done because of other financial pressures but the comments on my previous post remind me why I keep the site running.
It's not about money therefore to keep it going.
However at this stage I do have to keep new users off. Their expectations for what a good site looks like are way above what DD presently offers and the majority of recent new users ended up being spammers.
If someone legitimate needs access to a friends only entry or diary then an existing user should e-mail me with their required details and I'll add them manually for now. If there becomes many I will provide a 'backdoor' mechanism for people to use that is not widely known which should see an end to the problem.
So I apologize if my previous post made it look like DD was going away. It isn't.
This entry was typed on iPhone so now I know for sure how awful the site looks in iPhone :-)
