I've been asked by Brad Fitzpatrick (of Danga Interactive - the company that owns LiveJournal.com) to stop using the Dystopia theme on Minilog.com (the one with the purple sidebar).
The reason he asked I remove it is that it's the property of Danga Interactive, and it could also give the false impression that LiveJournal.com and/or Danga Interactive endorse Minilog.com (which, actually, they don't).
In compliance with his request, the layout of Minilog.com has been reverted to the bluewhite scheme.
