It's increased that much? Wow. How did you find that stat?
You know why so much of fandom is on LJ? Because every other site has specialized in one form or another. ff.net has everything but NC-17 stories. Other archives have only one fandom, or only up to an R-rating, or don't allow chan, or don't allow RPS.
LJ is the only place where we have all of our multi-faceted interests thrown into one pile. And the balkanized nature of it keeps these various factions so separate that they don't even know what's housed next door. (I worry about the in-fighting over such things as RPS and chan on the fanarchive.)
FanLib would never be able to compete because eventually they'll have to remove that NC-17 bible slash three-way to please their sponsors. That prospect no doubt doesn't bother FanLib, but it's good we didn't get suckered.
