That in combination with a long history of DDOS attacks against LJ whenever there's something going down in internal Russian politics. The latter is why so many of us have DW accounts as backup even if we primarily read on LJ. My guess is that with the servers moving to Russia various people got worried about having uninvited guests in their accounts and not just being unable to access their accounts while the latest DDOSstorm was going on.

I still think it's weird that so many people get bent out of shape about LJ's Russian links but happily hand over all their personal data and all theirs friends' and family members' data as well to FaceBook so it can be sold to the highest bidder.
