Beginnings
Creation On May 1, 2001, an IRC user with the screen name BleuLlama dared Frank Precissi (DeadJournal username scsi) to create a DeadJournal website, as a parody of the LiveJournal blogging service[1], the server code of which had just been made open source [2].

Invite Codes After experiencing rapid, uncontrolled growth in its first few months of operation, DeadJournal followed suit with LiveJournal, instituting an invite code system. In order to sign up for a journal, users had to either pay for an account, or obtain an invite code from an existing user. This helped to control the growth of DeadJournal, while still maintaining an open community.

In December 2003, LiveJournal disabled its invite code system, once again accepting all new users. However, DeadJournal still maintains its invite code system. Though many users see this as an inconvenience, DeadJournal owner and administrator Frank Precissi, among other users, believes it helps maintain the integrity of the service [6].
