Well they've been pushing sponsored accounts hard since they first started, which is the lowest level to get customised comment pages at. I can see a lot of people leaving LJ over this. It's not like people haven't been leaving in droves for years, especially since DW arrived.
I can't remember how, but there is a way to have your stuff transferred to DW...maybe it is in the FAQ somewhere. I back up my icons regularly and found the easiest thing to do is just save the page as a complete webpage - a couple of clicks and all done.
Yeah, the icon upload over there is so much better. Just think how much better LJ would have been if instead of chasing the DW folks off, they'd have employed them.
On another note, a friend just left a load of communities on DW pertaining to styles over there on a post I made asking for such information, in case you're interested.
