Fail Fandom Anon Official Move Announcement

May 04, 2014 18:31

On July 5, 2014 Fail Fandom Anon will officially move to Dreamwidth. For the last four years the meme has found a welcoming home on LiveJournal. Due to the increasing extended technical outages of LiveJournal service and the unreliability of the LiveJournal platform we will be moving by choice -- before a LJ collapse forces a sudden relocation.

Mods, you have been amazing throughout all of the drama. Thank you for letting us know and making a difficult choice.

I look back and realize that LJ has been part of my life for over a decade. I realize I'm still typing this on LJ, despite the fact that most of the conversation will probably be going on at DW. I've never considered the degree to which I am a creature of habit until now...

I spent a full decade of my life posting to LJ on a daily basis. And that was my life outside the meme.

If LJ was not having technical issues, chances are we would stay here forever.

ETA: That was supposed to be the pony icon. The pony.

AYRT

*hugs Consolation tightly*

Nonnies, critters, Sunnies...

I'll see you

on the other side

Right? Right? ;_;

Consolation pony seems the appropriate choice, given that there was no decision that would work for absolutely everyone.

(For the record, the link to this discussion post - only the lj version - is borked in the headers on both lj and dw ( ... )

Re: Signing off anonymous May 5 2014, 02:25:37 UTC

one of those flouncers being mocked in the current dw header (classy touch, btw.)

I have nothing to add to your comment but for the sake of accuracy, I think the header was a reference to the thread below about SFWA. I've never seen the mods mock anyone's preference for dw or lj.

DA

I thought it was mocking meme, flouncing to DW. Isn't that what we used to do when people stormed away from lj?

Re: Signing off sunnylunarbase May 5 2014, 02:30:39 UTC

Yes, it was a reference to that thread. Several nonnies requested for it to be made the next post header because they liked that line; it has nothing whatsoever to do with the move announcements.

I just wanted to say I had no idea that meme and I shared a birthday! I'm strangely thrilled.

anonymous May 5 2014, 04:33:56 UTC

This makes me sad. :( But I'm not angry at the Sunnies or anything, just sad.

anonymous May 5 2014, 04:41:06 UTC

Me too.

I love this meme, but it seems like things will never be the same now. When it's on DW, it just won't be the meme I know and love.

DW Technical Solutions and Workarounds anonymous May 5 2014, 07:41:53 UTC

Thought we could use a thread for this. I know some people's issues with DW is down to specific technical problems or missing features. Meme is smart and has many tech-savvy anons. If something is a deal-breaker for you at DW because of your device, or the way you meme, maybe we can croud-source solutions.

It would be great if this subthread could stick to practical discussion and troubleshooting. Maybe keep wank about why people are stupid to use meme the way they do or to own dumb-phones for other threads?

Re: DW Technical Solutions and Workarounds anonymous May 5 2014, 10:24:11 UTC

DW actually works BETTER for me on my phone, but I was wondering if the nonnies talking about figuring out spoiler cuts had got anywhere?

Spoilertext anonymous May 5 2014, 13:12:51 UTC

In the textbox is the spoiler code people use on DW. Not sure if it's QUITE what you're after but it works on other anonmemes over there.

Re: DW Technical Solutions and Workarounds anonymous May 5 2014, 11:57:25 UTC

I couldn't find any advice on dememe, so maybe someone can answer this?

I'm a tracking nonny, and DW always tracks to inbox + email. Inbox fills up at 2000 comments.

Will I always have to delete manually once the inbox is full, or will the emails still come in? I guess I'll find out soon enough, but maybe someone can confirm.

Because if I have to do regular inbox maintenance every 1-2 days or lose big chunks of conversation, that's pretty much the death knell for me. (And I like DW! :( )
