Blurty was a journaling service based on the LiveJournal open-source code. Membership was restricted to users 18[note 1] and over, with 2,000,000 registered members since 2002.

In its early years the site had a small fannish presence, after a migration of users who could no longer access their main journals (LJ) and saw Blurty as a backup alternative.

Around 2000s, it was home to several profiles of fans and communities, including Fandom Wank for a brief period in 2003.

The site appears to have remained online and active until mid-2015, when a "Server Upgrade in Progress, Be Right Back" message began to host the main page.

    Create your own Blurty journal and instantly become part of one of the fastest growing communities on the web. If you're over 18 years old and you have something to say, then you're just the kind of person we're looking for. Ok, so our standards aren't very high, but that's what makes reading some of the journals so much fun. You'll see.

    (It's totally, absolutely, 100% free.)[1]
