ATTN: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT A MOD POST
(jk it's totally a mod post)
Two things tonight, Millipeeps!
Thing the first: we've been getting some questions about when, exactly, the Dreamwidth move is planned for, and the answer is... we still don't know! We have a relative schedule worked out, based on how long we guesstimate various things will take, but date-wise, we are still in the dark.
The reason for this is part ethical, part practical. Because we believe that players' ownership of/control over their content is important, we don't want to start the move before we send out our epic, "Hey, we're moving to Dreamwidth!" email. However! Because we will be encouraging people to import and OpenID-claim as many journals as is practical, we want to make sure the OpenID claim function is out of testing, fully working, and generally hunky-dory before we email 1000+ people all, "Hey, you should do this thing here."
(Also there's some stuff with the fact that we have 500+ more tags than Premium Paid accounts are technically allowed, but DW staff have mentioned the fact that in some cases they can increase the tag limit for Premium Paid comms to ~4,000, but my support request about that still hasn't been answered, and idk what would happen if we tried to import before that, BUT ANYWAY.)
tl;dr: when we know, you'll know.
Thing the second:NEW CONTACT LIST
Go forth and add thyselves, but please:
