I imported mine a long time ago, and ended up deleting my LJ account in... what, 2011? 2013? When the servers moved to Russia. I regret it slightly, but I can still access most of the old posts that are on different communities, so it's not too bad. (I do regret losing access to a tiny ficlet I wrote in the comments of a friend's 100% flocked journal; no getting access to that again! At least it was short and probably reasonably easy to recreate.)

I swear I remember there was a tool to just... download your whole LJ as a backup, as well. Might be useful if the queue is too long and/or other coding shenanigans.

Edit: Also that is a fantastic tattoo.
