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've pretty much spent the 16th to the 22nd or so poking around Dreamwidth and Livejournal and reading every thread I can get my hands on. I'm still leaning on getting out of here. I've thankfully cooled down quite a bit, although I still get cross-eyed when I look at Livejournal for too long. That's most likely just a photo-sensitivity problem by now. A few weeks earlier and I'd attribute it to a certain Russian LJ staff member. Yeah, I went through those wonderful threads too. I don't think it's a lost in translation thing at all, which is just... Okay, moving on

Oh, another comment I thought of last night at like EIGHT AM WHILE TRYING TO SLEEP.

ahem.

If we do move and switch to community based, can we like.. make it a Thing to NOT delete our LJ-versions, even if we import everything? I mean, I don't.. really see why we would, but just in case? I, and everyone else, I'm pretty sure, would not want all our links to tracked threads to be broken, sob.

My reasons for staying here are mostly like. Archiving related. And that has been addressed above.

And learning-a-new-website related, which is sort of a bigger hiccup (you guys I am really really dumb about some of these things, I still haven't really learned how to fancy up a livejournal), but...I'd get around it. I'm just lazy and tech nervous, I'll have fun once I get started.

Overall I do think it would be the better thing for everyone, and also for the game--because if rpers are moving away from lj en masse, that means less new applicants for eway, and that's kind of an important thing, isn't it?

So. I guess Dreamwidth.

DW is very very similar to LJ, so I wouldn't worry too much about adjustment in terms of using the site, but customizing (layouts and crap) might be annoyingly different-- then again, we might go community-based and then it's not such a big deal anyway.

So I wouldn't worry too much about that <3

[paper_knight]

Thanks!
I...never customized much on LJ anyway, just used a premade journal layout and ran with it.

I vote for option 3. It'd be a while before I could afford to get paid time, but 15 and no ads is better than 15 with ads or even 6 and no ads.

Either way, I'm liking the comm-based game plan. We wouldn't have to keep adding and removing each others' journals. They're either part of the community or they're not, and if they post, everybody will see right away, not just the people who happened to be around when they posted the 'please add me!' intros.

[reckless_eagle]

My vote is for 4. I prefer journal-based games in general, I've been having enough issue with LJ lately that I'm... really not sure I can play on this site anymore :\

[reckless_eagle]

3 is also totally okay with me, too, though!

[demiurgos_girl]

Then I am definitely 100% for moving!!!
