I got distracted trying to document FanLib users and their site culture (something sorely lacking on Fanlore, which is all about how the overall concept sucked and not about the fans that got directly screwed, but I digress). Anyway, if you do a search on LJ, you can turn up a certain number of FanLib refugees looking around for another highly multi-fandom site with a pretty look and graphics capabilities, both of which I gather FanLib had. It sounds like a number of them got spammed to join MyFandoms and some tried it out. I think most of them eventually ended up on FF.N. (Just to give a little perspective on what fan communities might have been attracted and why there might have been some legit user activity around 2008.)
