Are you staying or going? rn I'm using ABP to get around all the popups. but I imagine I have to make a decision eventually...

[lafinjack]

Making sure my DW import is complete, seeing how many community posts I can save, then nuking the journal from orbit.

[rayefrenzy]

i really didnt like DW but its looking like i have no choice unless i want my entries to become adverts or get banned because i posted about being gay without marking the subject as "adult".

Ugh.

[lafinjack]

Basically, yeah. I'm just getting everything out first, then deciding where to go later, i.e. if Deadjournal or someplace else is still around.

[not_hothead_yet]

I'm on DW and my handle is smibbo. If you find a better place, let me know please

[lafinjack]

I'll consider it.

Hey whats your user name on dreamwidth? I just started up a journal there a couple weeks ago. Haven't posted anything yet but I'm trying to collect names of everyone I'd like to keep in touch with.

[lafinjack]

Ha, yeah, same. Just LafinJack like here.
