(no subject)

[case]

Since people pointed out Saturday isn't enough time to see what LJ is doing with this or about this, moved the potential moving date to New Years' - 1/1/2012.

[Poll #1805208]

The other poll is closed and this one will be open until Dec 31st! You can edit your vote by going here.

As a note, I'm completely willing to either stay or move. Updating the comm is easy enough for me either way.



1 - It's not only about subject lines. Others have written up potential problems better than I could:

2 - For those worried about possibly needing to make DW accounts to comment, if a move happens: you don't need one! OpenID will let you comment as an LJ user (in the same way Facebook users can comment on LJ).

3 - For those worried about missing updates: I can crosspost to LJ to let you know a post is up (with a handy link over to it), I don't mind that (it's like a minute of extra work, no problem) - if the DW move happens though, the comments would be over there.

4 - Apparently, this is what we're getting next year.

5 - I'm aware workarounds are available - but those (or so I hear?) won't stay available for long. Also, those layouts have their own bugs. If someone can actually supply me with workable code that doesn't make long threads unreadable to change the layout, I'll give it a try.

6 - raemia has an FAQ up here: http://raemia.livejournal.com/18347.html


7 - Tried the LJ workaround, give me your thoughts? Also contains links to what FS would look like on DW. Feedback on either/both?

I don't mind the new way of commenting. LJ is just updating everything to keep up with everything else (ie. YouTube and Facebook). Please don't move. I like it here, where it is.

if I wanted YouTube and Facebook or tumblr...I'd go there. I don't want that. I want what LJ used to offer...as of just a few days ago. A place where anons, non-anons, new users and old could interact in a certain way, without all the crap that other sites pile on. This whole thing destroys everything. They should just rename the whole thing to 'Prêt-à-PorterJournal'

Wow... Sorry if my one statement, my one single thought on the matter, happened to upset you this much. I'm sorry but I really don't see the big deal. Its not that much of a change and I actually kind of like it.

Of course, we're all entitled to our own opinion. The fact that you did so anonymously may say you're not as comfortable with your answer/accusation towards me as you seem.

The anon didn't accuse you of anything, though.
