preparing for the great Scans_Daily migration

Nov 10, 2009 20:53

I got a Dreamwidth account for the express purpose of following the upcoming Scans_Daily 3.0. I remain cautiously optimistic. On one hand, yay for a new permanent home! On the other hand, I've been enjoying reading S_D less and less over the past few weeks ( Read more... )

Well, one particular trollish poster has already said he won't be making the move to scans_daily 3.0, so...maybe things will improve marginally?

What, really? As in the one we've discussed recently? If so, then hell yes, things are already starting to look up!

I dig the new layout on DW. It looks so much homier and welcoming than the drab IJ layout.

Yes, the very same.

Agreed on the layout, though I'm really missing my icons (as my constant whining clearly indicates).

Why are you missing the icons? Can't you upload icons, or are you referring to some limit we can have?

I still need to get a DW account, so I can follow along as well.

On the one hand, wank sucks. On the other hand, I'm actually kind of encouraged by the level of discourse that's happened re: issues of marginalization at S_D, even if some (or a lot) of it has been poorly handled. I'd be hesitant to call that wank, even if I'd rather stay out of the arguing. I seriously do enough of that in my real life.

ON THE OTHER OTHER HAND, I don't know the specifics of what you are talking about. So meh.

thehefner November 13 2009, 01:05:33 UTC

Oh, I've actually been rather into that kind of discourse. I've found all that quite interesting, and I think it deserves to be talked about. That's not what I was referring to when I mentioned wankery. I meant the typical fan-wankery from one member in particular which reminded me too much of the kind of stuff one would see at Newsarama.com and the like.
