Dreamwidth Invite Codes

[cali0623]

Back during one of the (too many to count) migration-away-from-LJ discussions, I created a Dreamwidth account. I haven't done anything with it, but I set one up just in case fandom as a whole actually did end up leaving LJ

I would love to get one!
I'm not sure what I will do with it, but it's good to always have a back-up plan.

[cali0623]

That's kind of what I thought. It never hurts to have a back up. :)

Just sent you a PM. Let me know if it doesn't work?

[catpaws]

Yeah, in case that something stupid happens on/to LJ and we all will have to bid it adieu.

Once again, thank you. It all worked perfectly. ♥

Also,Back during one of the (too many to count) migration-away-from-LJ discussions -> Whoa, where do such treacherous discussions commence? ; )

[cali0623]

I'm glad it worked for you. :)

It's happened a number of times, but the one that sticks out in my mind the most is the strikethrough debacle:

A few years ago, LJ started deleting/suspending fandom journals (many times without warning) that they felt violated their TOS. (which really weren't well-defined). When they deleted the journals of a couple of well-known Harry Potter fanartist, shit hit the fan. Fandom got whipped into a fury and people started talking about leaving all together. That's also when fandom_counts was created. For full details, you can go
here and here. (or just google "livejournal" and "strikethrough" - there are a number of pages on it)

I have a Dreamwidth for these exact same reasons.

We should friend each other in case of the final migration away from LJ ever occurring.

[cali0623]

I don't really see the migration ever happening, but you never know. We fandom-type people can be a little hot headed at times. ;P It's always good to have something set up just in case.

I haven't really posted anything over there (I mostly just use it to track communities/writers I like) but I'm all about friending eachother. At least this way we can keep track of eachother if LJ ever does end up imploding. :) I'm cali0623 over there too. Are you wornoutbirks, or is it under your old LJ name?

[wornoutbirks]

I'm actually pattimalone over there. I just went ahead and "granted you access" since it isn't really "add friend" over there...

[cali0623]

I think I just added you over there. Still not quite sure how dreamwidth works, so if I screwed something up, please let me know? :)
