I hear ya on the xposting spam. It's no problem to keep you friended on both places -- thanks for keeping me up to speed on where you're at with it all!
I'm gramina on both IJ and GJ, and don't yet know where I'll be posting most; I'll add you both places, though, and I'll try to say something public when it's clear to me what I'll be doing.
/sigh/ I hate this process. Not enough not to do it, but jeeze, it would have been so much easier if it hadn't been made necessary.
I've realized based on your comment and some others that of course existence of an IJ account does not = IJ as primary. So I'm going to keep everyone with an IJ account friended on LJ as well until it becomes obvious stuff's xposted or mainly on IJ.
I've got an IJ and have friended you, but I have no plans to start posting anything but fic announcements there just yet. So! What Grace said -- I would definitely like to keep in touch and am checking my IJ flist, but my own personal entries will all be LJ-based for the time being.
Cool! I'm realizing a lot of people are picking up an IJ without making it a primary account, so I think I'm going to keep everyone with an IJ dual-friended on LJ unless and until it becomes obvious everything on LJ's getting xposted to IJ. I don't wanna miss anything!
I'm not yet on IJ, but will probably get an account there within the week (as soon as I'm paid, and can buy a permanent account) - I am dine on JF, and am looking at my options for cross-posting there & LJ. need to figure out the technology, but I'm so disgusted at the current BS here (especially their suggesting people will be TOSd for including links in posts) that I really want to leave.
I purchased a permanent account years ago and by now am skating - they make no money off me, and I'm looking at ways to change how I use my LJ that would be more of a burden on them. more polls, more pictures, try phone posts? got any other suggestions?
I hear you. I read a great post about how to stick it to LJ, actually -- they say every user gets 2GB of storage, but like most providers each user doesn't actually have 2GB, they're counting on people not using it up. So I've seen a lot of encouragement for posting very large pictures and doing a lot of phone posts. They limit phone posts to 5 minutes, but still -- you get to use their 800 number, which costs them money, and then put up a nice fat audio file that costs them further memory and money to host.
