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.

Either place is good with me; I just don't want this place to die. And let's face it, my only reason reason for not wanting to move is the less icons issue since I have 246 here and sob sob I want them all. B(

/greedy as hell

Uh, anyway. I also.. am actually really used to the journal based aspect now too, so suddenly talking about it being community based made me panic a little. >.> I don't know whhhhy.

edit: I also worry about the ongoing threads now. I mean, I know like, NO ONE is posting recently, but the older-but-still-going threads.. I don't want them to just die. D:

I realize money sucks all the time, but with a premium account at DW, you can get 250 icons.

AND you can import all the threads in your own journals to accounts at DW, and if we move, we should be able to import entries and comment threads from the mirror and log comms as well.

[itsahotone]

I.. may have already imported all that stuff. XD I just worry, cause I'm a nerd.

I mean, my paranoia and junk isn't enough for me to be against a move! So yes.

[eatsyourscience]

You're not the only one. |D

Personally, with the way LJ is going (IE trying to be more like facebook), I believe that pretty soon it will be very, very hard to roleplay here anymore, if not impossible. I don't want to wait around until that happens. And I'm honestly sick of giving my money to people who who openly make fun of me in different languages and call me as insignificant as a mouse. I know people have paid time that isn't up yet (heck, so do I, even though I only pay for anything in 2 month spurts), but I just... things aren't going to get better. In my entire stay at Livejournal, they have never gotten better. They have only gotten worse. And again, I don't want to be waiting around until that happens

LET'S JUMP DA SHIP IMO.

Multiple people in this game have shown a lack of interest in going on if entranceway sticks to livejournal. Eway will probably lose active players.

It's also kind of hard for people, including myself, to get motivated to RP here because of the runarounds we have to do to try and get it back to the way it was. idk if that makes sense but yeah. I'm lazy!!

I'm going to have to vote for 4 thought, because I'm very used to journal based games. I don't have THAT much of a preference, but I've only played in one community based rp in like my 5+ yrs of lj rp. I mean it was okay to use that format and everything, but I'm used to journals.

I'm putting in a definite vote for moving to Dreamwidth. I just paid for another year of this account's icons before all this rubbish went down, but that's honestly not a compelling enough thing to keep me here, not when a bunch of reasons are making me want to move:

Comment titles. Yeah, they're still available on s2 custom comment pages, but I've read that that won't be true for much longer because of further changes the staff have planned (and we've seen how willing they are to give up on planned changes). I like comment titles. Comment titles are fun and versatile.

Future changes on LJ. You guys already linked in your last post about this to the fairly skank-ass new designs we're going to be seeing (and in the case of some features, like the scrapbook's look, already are seeing). And then there is stuff like this and I just I am sad okay. I am sad and getting the impression that LJ is heading towards being Russian Facebook, which is not an inherently bad idea but would make a very poor roleplaying platform.

Livejournal's

Adding to DW staff: They communicate with their userbase. A lot, and well. And listen to complaints, and answer questions.

[40410]

In essence, they are the cooler kids by far. :D

[akapeanut]

Just FYI, igrick isn't LJ staff, he was hired to do the new designs.

Thanks so much for letting us discuss this.

I'll go wherever the game goes, and I'm okay with whatever format we go with, either journal-based or comm-based. The only other game I've been in was journal-based, so I'm used to that format and prefer it, but I don't mind comm-based either if it's easier for you guys during mirror events and the like. I can see the upside to it.

Following you guys forever. Or as long as I can, anyway. ♥

If I think of anything else, then I'll let you know. ^-^ (And fff, if I can post this in the right place. XD)
