THE NEXT CHAPTER...
'Hanging unspoken between them, and clearly understood, were the words, “Your move.”'
More than anything we appreciate the support we receive whenever we make a move on the community. Even for those members who don’t agree with us it is obvious you share the concerns and values of the community. Right now we are weighing the sustainability of any locked community against the privacy of the current members.
We are uncomfortable with the direction LJ seems to be taking, unable to predict how they will finally address the privacy issue and wonder how you feel about it. Some of you have journals which are true journals and some of you use them just as a reading journal. We would be interested in hearing from each and every one of you as to your future plans. Has the Facebook/Twitter issue changed the face of LJ for you? If MRF stayed on LJ and you moved to Dreamwidth or another blogging site, would you be willing to return to LJ to participate in MRF? Conversely, if MRF moved, would you be willing to open an account elsewhere (eg using a Dreamwidth account or Open ID to participate in comm activities)?
(Edit: Just to stop any panics... as we understand it, DW provides invitations to all members of a community which migrates there. Thank you to all the members who have already offered invites to others who don't have DW accounts.)
We would also really be interested in how you found MRF, how long it was before you joined and what finally made you join. If you encountered us today with all the posts prior to this one open, but anything going forward locked, would the flocking discourage you from applying for membership?
