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.

I'm fine with whatever you guys decide, long run DW might be better ...but then with LJ who knows what could happen :P

[notamisfit]

So first of all, I go where the game goes/stay where the game goes

[akapeanut]

It takes about five minutes to import posts so that part of it isn't much of a hassle! Just fyi

[notamisfit]

I'm sure I'll figure it out when I sit down and do it.

...and I should probably get my guys some mirror journals at some point >.>

I guess it was to be expected, but both me and Ket are voting for DW since we cannot use LJ.

No preference towards journal or community.

Well, I think you guys know that I'll follow Eway whether it stays or moves!

Secondly, I'm more inclined to move to DW. Looking over that link in the OP, a lot of the changes we'd undergo make the short term harder, but the long term easier. And between the two, I'd pick making the long term easier. (LJ does seem to have long term plans of its own, that are... not endearing. Best get out sooner than later.) Also, moving is a good opportunity to spice up the RP. It seems like DW makes it easier to write while LJ makes it easier to design- and I'd rather write.

Not to mention, from what I'm hearing a lot of people are having trouble even accessing LJ, so we'll probably lose players either way. Admittedly, I think we'd lose a bit more from moving. But if you're talking about saving the game and not the playerbase then DW is the better choice. Not much point having a playerbase if your game is unattractive anyway, right? (I know its a blurry, taboo distinction, but its there.)

Also, it kinda hurts when you realize that you're paying

EXODUS: MOVEMENT OF JAH PEOPLE

[dashboardlite]

Hoo boy, this is something I've spent the last three days talking about with one of my friends who works in user interface and site design.

I've spent so much time ranting about everything that yes, all my previous comments in ljnews have been rather emotionally-charged, but now I'm just sick and tired of livejournal as a whole. They've effectively crushed a lot of their userbase with this change, and since there's really nothing we can do about it and I'm sick and tired of having igrick be an absolute dick to all of us, I'm advocating a move to Dreamwidth.

I've already let Dean's icons run out (which is HORRIBLE AND AWFUL AND SAD but I'm dealing), and admittedly, one of my main concerns is the paid account spiel: I have one for libraritology, thestormcomes, and Dean's respectedman. They have a lot of time left, and I hate to lose those icons because I am a greedy whore I like using them

[jivitadana]

I tried importing already, and it just takes some time, but it looks good so far. The only problem I have is that none of the icons came through because I have a free account at DW and not enough room for all 200+ icons I have. XD

That should work! ^-^ Give it a try.

[turn4bout]

for me, i have a paid here, and a nonpaid on dw. when i imported the icons, it imported them all, but i can't use them. could you try again?

[jivitadana]

I got an inbox notice saying that I didn't have enough room for all 200+ icons I had, so only one icon ended up going over there, which was the default.

I'll try it again though to see what happens. I think the same thing happened to Minato's mirror journal with its 30+ icons, but thanks for the heads up! Maybe there was something I did wrong. o.o!
