Moving to DW

[jsfunction]

I guess it's time to start moving to DW for good.

I'm glad that you made this decision. I didn't want to lose your warm friendly presence and your gorgeous works either. Welcome to DW , it's just like LJ in terms of functioning aspect , so it shouldn't be any hassle.

Thank you so much! :) I really hope there's a way to keep iconing alive on DW, I have no idea how active it is there but I guess we'll see :D

I've really done my best to establish a presence there, and abyss_valkyrie has done a huge part of the heavy lifting, as well, running two comms.

The icontalking comm at dw has 180 subscribers (even if only 6 regular participants). I hope it should be a good starting point to promote icon comms there.

The really good ("elite") makers never made the jump, sadly. But there have been some. shameless666 for example was there for a long while and also ran a comm. I hope that with this "incentive" (eek), the elite makers will make the switch now and we can take root on DW again without losing too many people. <3

Oh there's icontalking at DW, awesome!! I was just wondering where I'd find info on all the active icon comms but that would probably be it. I guess I'll promote somein30 there once I've fixed the promo code.

Yeah I hope too that we don't lose too many active makers but thankfully at least based on the poll at somein30 almost everyone is willing to move there if necessary, so that's a huge relief.

Haven't tried it or really looked into it yet myself, but apparently this link might help with exporting your scrapbook: https://lannamichaels.dreamwidth.org/1244588.html

I already downloaded all of my icons and now I'm debating if I should post them as fandom-specific archives or just try the import thing.. hm. Thanks for the link anyway :)

Good luck!

Time to put my basic software knowledge to use. I always read your name as javascriptfunction lol. Glad to see that you are moving to DW. And I totally get it. Friendships and the community that surrounds are so much more meaningful than the channels they are built on!

[jsfunction]

Hee, you're absolutely right, that's what the "js" is supposed to be :D But most(?) people wouldn't know that, so to them the three-consonant start of the username just looks weird...

Yes, absolutely :) Very glad to see you're over there as well!

\o/ - also a little melancholy, but... yeah. The fact that the iconmaker community was so firmly rooted on LJ is the only thing that kept me here. I am much happier with DW. I actually had a bit of anxiety about participating in LJ comms since the crossposter stopped working, and the idea of everyone moving to DW (i so hope they do!) is something that makes me relieved.

OOoh, I loved it! It's so weonderfully geeky, and it still reminds me of farscape. All around a good name. But! Your new name is also awesome, and I knew right away that it was you when I saw it for the first time yesterday. :D

I've been storing all my icons on LJ's hosting since photobucket stopped cooperatingoh god i know the feeling. I've been moving my icons to my image host for what feels like years, and I'm still not done. I switched in 2017, and there are *still* half a year worth of icon posts

[jsfunction]

Haha, I'm glad you liked the previous name :D I hope everyone will get used to the new one! ngl I kinda wanted to try entering a few new icons somewhere on DW before revealing who I am, just to see how my work would be received without any ~reputation (good or bad) that comes with it, but I chose to not waste time like that :D better get to work with the actual move.

Oh nooo D: I didn't even know you too used LJ storage at some point. Well, at least you've done a massive amount of the work already!
