Hey guys! Now that I’ve survived the 35 hour travel day from hell (after kicking a copious amount of glorious ass at Worlds), all the mods are together again. Which means party time it’s time to get down to business.

For me, I'm thinking of the cost of switching to dreamwidth. I think in the long term it'll be better, but for at least until my financial aid comes I probably shouldn't be buying paid time for icon space, and all my paid time on lj is essentially going to go to waste. While I personally don't mind this too much, I could see why it might upset people.

So if money is a big issue for a lot of people, I say switching to a community based way of doing things would be just fine. For one, there's no chance of losing all my posts in somebody's journal if they decide to purge it (no offense but I trust the mods more than the average player, though you guys have been way better than some of the other players I've run into at other games DX) so I do prefer community based-- aaaand so do a lot of potential appers. Some people in ATP flatout refuse to do journal-based games. Just a thought.

So yeah, I would move if need be but I think money-wise it might make sense to wait a little bit for some of us orrrr just switch to community-based.

Oh, about that!

Funny story! Linda and I were just talking about this

wow koji you suck at secrets

Since DW paids are cheaper than LJ paids I am willing to contribute to this!

[epiccombo]

I really don't mind either way. One of my games has already switched to DW, and I've already imported my journals over, in the event that eway moves too. Whatever is decided, I'll go along with it.

I've read the whole article about roleplaying on LJ vs. roleplaying on DW before, and after rereading it again now, it seems really nice ( Specifically: generally cheaper for paid accounts, uploading multiple icons at once, longer posts, etc). You know, just very easy. Although something that could be a little annoying is how on DW there aren't notifications on your site inbox for comments made outside your journal (personally I use my email for notifications so that doesn't bother me at all, but other people might find this a little irksome!! Dang. But that is something for people to look at before they decide

[exiled_torch]

wow honestly that is really irksome. i didn't know it only gives notifs for your journal. :(

[paper_knight]

Ohh I didn't know about that either. I don't use my email, I only use my lj inbox.
Worrying.

[ironlass]

If we do move to DW and you have to start working from your email, having a notifier is very helpful. Depending on which one, they blink, make noise, and give a small pop-up when you have new emails.

For Firefox there is the Web Mail Notifier (I don't really know how it works exactly though! I don't use this) which is basically an all in one for most e-mail names. You can also just go here and just search you e-mail provider like yahoo, gmail, etc and see if there are checkers for just them.

You can find some in the Chrome webstore too. Unfortunately my internet is being poop and won't let me look them up so :(.
