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?

I honestly don't see the big deal with the changes. For the most part they seem to make things easier.

I have no intention of getting a DW account, so I would hate to lose FS and I hope you guys hold off on moving.

you wouldn't have to get a DW account

FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

Some people don't want to get OpenID either. More handles and passwords to remember. More hoops to jump through. Believe it or not some people don't want to make an effort to do something that they can do effortlessly here.

Your right. Nevermind that you can use your lj as an open id on dreamwidth. : /

No, I wouldn't, but it would be another site to follow, and with only one comm on there I'd be interested in I probably wouldn't come back.

I'm pretty sure it's been said if the comm moves to DW, technophile will make a post on LJ with a link to the DW post, or something like that.

Oh, okay. That isn't as bad then. Thanks for the info.

In order to use thread-tracking, yes I would. Not sure if DW even HAS that feature. But even if it did, I don't want another journaling account that I'll never fucking use just to avoid hitting F5 a gazillion times.
