(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.

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

New comment system bothering you is a personal problem as well, since many people seem to not mind at all, or not enough to see the community moving over to DW, judging from the poll result.

"since many people seem to not mind at all,"

Wait, what

Have you seen the thousands of people complaining in the official news and releases posts? The hundreds of paying members that have decided to stop paying?

(And that's only the people who can access and who bother with commenting, many simply don't say anything and leave.)

It's only the minority of people posting any positive comments or even neutral comments at all.

Are you new at LJ or even Internet? Any change sees a bazillion negative comments, because let's face it, you're more likely to bother giving your opinion if it's to complain than if you're just "Meh, let's see how it turns in the long run".

OTOH, the poll up there still shows that 60% of people are in favor of staying here, because, I assume, they consider that moving will imply more hassle than staying.
