So, with LJ's latest change in commenting formats, there has been a lot of talk about moving some communities to other sites. Personally, I have an account on Dreamwidth, as well as InsaneJournal, so I'm willing to put up a "mirror community" of sorts on either in the event people would like to move. But before I do, I wanted to check with the

It's very similar to LJ's original format in terms of posting or commenting. If you've ever used Greatest Journal when it was around, it's essentially the same. Likewise, Dreamwidth is fairly similar as well.

Completely understandable, which is why I'm opening up discussion for a possible move or at least a partial move, in order to allow our members a place to post.

For those unaware, here are some additional links regarding LJ's latest changes:

poll about the new update
full details about the intended upcoming overhaul

I'm personally not comfortable joining Insanejournal, so Dreamwidth would be preferable. Either is preferable to LJ, though, at this point. /:

lmfao, yeah it's... just kind of ridiculous. :\

Not that I post here that often anyway, but I don't mind moving to Dreamwidth.

Personally I feel that, considering how rapid-fire their new posts on news/releases have been and how quickly they're at least trying to make things usable, it seems pretty likely that everything will resolve relatively soon. Probably within the same window that moving an entire community to DW would be viable, at that.

I'm hoping that this is the case, though some of the responses from those like igrick are a bit discouraging. I'm definitely monitoring the releases pages for new info. I just figured I'd check with members to see if they do choose to move, whether they would like a mirror community. I have no intention of moving all of the content from the community because that would take forever, but if we do go ahead with a mirror site, it'll include the same rules and such.

Personally I don't see the point of moving as dead as this comm is at the best of times.
