Help Identify Inactive Fandom Delicious Accounts!

[murklins]

Okay, fandom! Sometime in July, maybe even on July 1st, control of Delicious will transfer to AVOS. Any Delicious account that has not explicitly opted in to the transfer will be lost forever. I would like to generate a list of fannish accounts that have not opted in and back up all their PUBLIC bookmarks. To do this, I need a lot of help, in not a

This is so great of you, you're a star!

[murklins]

A tired star. This project is a lot of work, as it turns out! :)

Just went through all of the delicious accounts I have bookmarked, or are on my network. I found the following that aren't opted in:

squigglepie
shirasade
quinteuse
aimlesswords
kikiduck
degression
merlinrecs
sarklover826
sparkledark
disarm_d
squeakyclean
battie_hattie

Some of these accounts (specifically shirasade, merlinrecs, sarklover826, and squeakyclean) have been updated within the last month. Do we have any way to contact people who are still using their deliciouses to remind them to opt in so they don't lose their bookmarks? Any suggestions on that front?

Also, thank you so much for doing this! It is definitely much appreciated! :D

kronos999 made some suggestions below regarding still-active but opted out users: http://deliciouslymad.livejournal.com/20987.html?thread=319483#t319483

And I suppose we could make an LJ post actually listing fannish accounts that have not opted in, in the hopes that the account owners or their friends will spot their name? That might get taken the wrong way, though, like we're calling people out, not just trying to nudge the forgetful.

Found some more! Again, there's another one who has updated in the last month or so (horusporus).

Thanks, I've added these links and the ones from your previous comment to my list!

Tuesdayfic is my fic delicious (which, uh, desperately needs updating) and today I confirmed with them I'd like to keep it. Just letting you know it doesn't need to be backed up, but I appreciate everyone's efforts here! ♥

Working on sending you the java program, but thought I'd comment here in public for other people to see with my two cents. Regarding the people who are still bookmarking, but haven't opted in, I noticed that some of them have links to their journals so we could message them. If we can't do that, we could also send them a bookmark of a reminder page such as here as a last resort. Probably won't see it, but I suppose it is better than nothing.

[murklins]

Ugh, that sounds like a lot of work. I think I will let someone else organize any efforts to contact opted out users!

[kronos999]

I think you are already doing enough!

[ursamajor]

Oh god, it's that soon? I'd totally forgotten, as I'd opted in (with reservations, granted, but still opted in).

So far, fannish Deliciouses I follow that have NOT opted in:

fandomdirectory
ibarw (not purely fannish, though many many links to meta by fans)
linkspam
otw_news (though inactive and infrequently used)
recsrainbow
50books_poc (mostly book reviews)

[murklins]

Thanks for the names, I've put them in my list!
