I don't have the spare tuits to try this right now (possibly this weekend), but I just came across this tool: http://antennapedia.livejournal.com/266462.html which claims to be a full migrate tool for LJ-style sites.
Quoting the author: - Archives entries, comments, and user pics locally. - Can optionally generate simple html versions of entries with comments and a userpic. - Can optionally migrate from one LJ-style server to another. E.g., from LiveJournal to InsaneJournal. Post metadata (user pic keywords, mood icon, tags, music, location) is preserved when the destination supports them. Privacy info is preserved: if a post is private or flocked in the source, it will be private or flocked at the destination. Custom filters aren't moved, though. - Archives communities. Can also migrate them. See README. - Cannot migrate comments or memories; cannot archive community comments. These limitations are LJ limitations, alas. Last updated Aug 08. Python code. -D On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 3:40 PM, Mark Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yeah, posts and comments for the vast majority of people I know.
