Okay, is it too much to ask...

...to have a way to um, change the link colour to something other than this revolting baby blue? All the dark black schemes have these revolting baby blue pastel links and there is no way to change them.  I absolutely detest these templated layouts, the Sucks-Apart Standard "Expressive" template that was so ugly they had to smear it all over Livejournal AND Vox.  As if maybe the two services MIGHT not benefit from not having the exact same templates, or should I say the exact same ONE template with a lot of different revolting headers, most of them nauseatingly CUTESY or the sort of kitschy-koo-krap you find in suburban industrial-park offices.  When I choose a scheme called "Personalized" I expect to be given the means to choose the text and link colours! It's...so basic.  This IS 2007 and in a few breaths and heartbeats and eyeblinks it'll be BAM! 2008.  This was something people could do 10 years ago.  Come on you people, this should be fixed.

Another beef.  I distinctly have chosen to NOT receive email bulletins from Vox. I still get them like clockwork every week.  Did they make them mandatory and kind of forget to tell anyone, or did I miss that clause in the mountain of legalese that constitutes a typical Sucks Apart EULA?

These guys used to have me pissed after their ex post facto changes to Moveable Type ruined a blog I'd been doing with a friend for years by refusing to allow multiple authors if using an already-free old MT version.  For a while I relented, since SA seemed to be not ruining Livejournal...but reports keep reaching me that reek of unreasonable censorship, mass deletions after one insane irate complaintnik writes a single letter of religious indignation and offense at SOMETHING that a minor MIGHT happen to see...How fucking sad, how fucking...typical.

I was thinking of shunting my as-of-recently-shut-down Livejournal to this site, but it's lookin' pretty dubious, kemo-sabe...
