I've never contemplated deleting my journal, but I resisted getting one for a while.
Done both. Poor deadsoul tried to get me on livejournal a year before I did. It was angela who finally convinced me. And I did it mainly to read all the atpo vets who were no longer posting on atpo and mainly posting here. I missed them.
Considered deleting again today...but got pulled right back in again. It's sort of like posting boards. I kept leaving and coming back, leaving and coming back...finally I just left for livejournal. Switched one for the other. There's something both exhilirating and nerve-wracking about posting personal thoughts and feelings online. It's a bit like letting your brain dance naked in front of people who you've never actually met.
Also the online world is really volatile and somewhat cliquish. If you say something against a popular person or say something that could be read the wrong way - watch out for the flames. Also, anynomity is an easy thing here.
