LiveJournal isn't simply the blogging site. It's a complete social
network of six million users. If the community gets actual activity,
it might attract attention- and bring new people to Piecepack. It's a
much more public place than the Yahoo! group- it's much easier to read
back issues of an LJ community than wander through the archives of a
mailing list.

I, personally, prefer LiveJournal to a mailing list because it's
easier for me to follow the conversations and I already use the site.
I don't think it's likely to "fragment" the community- in my
experience, if any particularly interesting thread comes up in any
given forum within a community, the other forums tend to get linked to
it.

In short, it's somewhere I'd like to have the chance for conversation
about Piecepack, and I believe it could be some advertising. Not a
lot, but any new players are cool, right?
