Frankly I have no idea what this "dirt" is and all I know is that the comment style changed and everyone is shitting themselves over it. I'm assuming there's more to it than that but I haven't really cared enough to look into it since I don't find it inconvenient at all.
Therefore; my answer is going to be mostly useless because I can honestly say that I don't care whether we stay on LJ or move to DW, since no matter what the option is I'll follow you until you love me~.
The dirt is on LiveJournal itself and its customer service. It's changed hands recently, and the people who are now in charge don't seem to terribly care about their userbase. Some LJ people who are in charge have been douchebags in several different ways, and a lot of RP has decided they don't want to deal with it any more and don't want to give the site any more money. This is the real reason why games are moving, though the layout doesn't help.
If you want more deets, I can try to scrounge things back up. I just didn't want to bombard you with all of it because I'm not trying to be all "LJ IS BAD AWFUL EVIL," I'm just trying to explain. XD
Oh, it switched ownership again? I hadn't heard that. Last I knew, there was some dispute between the Russian side of LJ and the English speaking side, where the Russian side tended to accuse the English speakers of being whiny trolls which seemed to greatly influence staff decisions/opinions.
I... would like to pack up and move to Dreamwidth. Everything I've seen about them proves that they care about more than just the business and traffic (and at least they actually care about that). They actually give a damn about their userbase, and they've been unbelievably flexible and embracing. Not to mention that overall they've just been acting like a grade A class act.
Honestly, I will follow the game wherever it does. Luministi has been the only stable game I've been in and it's Soraface's home. If it stays on LJ, I'll make do with the layouts. If it moves to Dreamwidth, I will be endlessly happy. If you decide to create a mirror game, I'll probably play on both. XD But my vote is for moving, because I would like to be able to wave LJ good-bye (aside from using LJ as an archive as you suggested should importing not be free by then, but considering the way Dreamwidth has been moving, it's very likely that it will be).
When it started out, I was a lot more irritated with the bad treatment of the customers than anything. A few months ago, there were those privacy glitches that LJ totally shrugged off and diminished, to the point of actually saying things that were not true. I let most of my paid accounts expire then, but then I decided to give LJ another chance. Then this happened, and I decided I liked DW. But the comment pages, I thought, weren't personally a problem, though I knew they were impossible to load on the computers of some and prone to causing headaches for others
