Guess the honeymoon's over

Dreamwidth apparently got overzealous and deactivated active communities in their effort to stop the "username landgrab". (oops, twice)

There should have been a betting pool for when the first script-related administrative error came up...

Based on my investigating, those are both related to the same user (the commenter in the second link), who registered about twenty communities for her tiny group of friends. I don't think it was undeserved.

Does that include single and thequestionclub? Not entirely sure it's related, but both of those suddenly disappeared.

(ETA: I see the latter has been reinstated.)

You mean naughty?

I know she created a number of Sims-related communities, which I wouldn't have found that unusual since she's moderately active in the LiveJournal Sims "scene" (and I think also maintains some related communities there).
