I like the idea of the 'In Brief' box. I'm not hugely opposed to the two columns, even - I just think the implementation they've got at present is a bit rubbish, and that 'School' ought to be back down at the bottom or in the middle - putting it up at the top looks like they're marketing LJ as a site for teenagers.
I doubt I'm going anywhere either, to be honest, I expect I'll stay here and moan. :) Here is where my friends are, and you're such a diverse bunch that if you decamp you'll probably decamp in umpteen different directions, which would be less than ideal.
Incidentally, following links from lj_design took me to this (http://community.livejournal.com/lj_biz/236361.html?thread=7277897#t7277897). ('Out of interest, and if we're feeling particularly public spirited, can paid/perm members opt in to have ads if they want to give LJ extra revenue?' / 'Yes, and we're hoping to build a model that's so damn good you'll want to turn it on to see what neat things are being offered!')
