Strikethrough and Boldthrough: On Tuesday, May 29, 2007, LJers woke up to find that their flists were showing a larger number of strikethrough'ed names than usual.

It turned out that LiveJournal had suspended over 500 journals based on their interest lists. Interests included but were not limited to: child pornography, incest, pedophilia, rape. Among the deleted ljs were RPG journals, book discussion groups, rape survivor groups, and fannish groups, including the large and popular Harry Potter fanfiction community Pornish Pixies, which was an age-restricted community for adult HP fanfiction.
