fandomsecrets | (no subject)

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.

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

Today's post is up below!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I've been a member of LJ since it first opened.

Hell, I remember getting the new disk for AOL on my MacG3 1999...ahhh.

LJ used to listen to it's users. It used to design on input.

Now, well, I have no idea what they are doing. It's a huge F.U. to all users. I feel like they are sticking their tongues out and saying "naahh..we're gonna' do what we want"

They don't listen, don't care.

I've always stood by LJ but this? This whole place has a firm foundation on interactions within comments. How can people screw with the very thing that makes these connetions with people possible.

And the bag over the head icon? Can you be anymore insulting?

Well, they could be more insulting. They could disable anonymous posting all together.

That is very true. And then where would it all end :P

"And the bag over the head icon? Can you be anymore insulting?"

I think it's fricken adorable. I love it!

If you want to move then move. Good riddance.

Seconded. I can't wait for all the pearl-clutching pretty princess drama queens to get out of everyone's hair.

Now THAT would be a vast improvement.

I hope Tech moves there just to piss off all you people.

It wouldn't piss me off if F!S moved, though. I'd just find something else to do. It's not like the community hasn't gotten boring as fuck recently anyway.

Well, I hope Tech doesn't to piss off the condescending 'you need to educate yourself if you don't think the way we do' people.

Guess there is suck on both sides.

Are you new to the Internet or something? There will always be pearl-clutching and drama. Just for different reasons from different people. You'll probably do it yourself at some point.

I agree about the anon avatar. They're so cute!
