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.

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?

Today's post is up below!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Jesus fucking christ, 98% of the comments to this entire motherfucking post.

"HOMG IF WE MOVE TO DREAMWIDTH WE'LL GET ALL THOSE FUCKING DW FANDOM IN OUR PUREST OF PURE F!S"
guys. there is a fucking feed on DW that pulls from F!S with nearly a hundred subscribers. that means there are at least nearly one hundred anons commenting to every damn post THAT ARE COMING FROM DREAMWIDTH.

guess how many are coming over that don't bother to subscribe! SHITLOADS, MOTHERFUCKERS, SHITLOADS.

THE DW INVASION IS ALREADY HERE!!! WHOOP WHOOP PREPARE FOR YOUR SJ DOOM

as a consequence, I really don't give a shit whether F!S moves or not, because it's all the same to me. I'd rather it moved, because then no fucking ads and NO GODDAMN CRYING GOAT. But I'd also rather all the dicks shut up! And that's not going to happen, is it.

You've never heard of Adblock plus, have you?

ayrt

I use it every fucking day on every fucking page. LJ STILL FINDS A WAY TO BE FUCKING ANNOYING.

At least when they're anon we know not to give them any heed.

Yes, it's obvious by your multiple paragraphs of capslocking rage and swears that you don't give a shit. I'm not even bothering to read to see which side you're on, damn.

I don't give a shit if F!S moves or not. I do give a shit about people being complete fuckwads about my journaling service of choice.

IT IS 2500% AWESOME OKAY
