(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 hope you move to DW because it will help give fandom the kick in the pants it needs to move AWAY from LJ, where we are so obviously not wanted. I'd prefer DW because that's where I've gone but it can always be mirrored there; as long as it's OFF LJ I'm happy. F!S is a huge driving force in fandom and functionality has much less to do with moving than fannish momentum.

AMEN. this this this this. Why keep complaining about the ZOMG SJ TROLLS when if we go over we can *outnumber* them? Holy shit what a concept. If more of fandom moved, less of fandom would be SJT or whatever over there. (Caveat: I've not seen these "trolls," but assuming they exist, this would obviously be the answer.)

Fandom has been threatening to leave LJ for years. After all the bellyaching and whining over all the years it will take an act bigger than one com moving to finally get everyone to go.
