Moving to Dreamwidth - discussion

[srwuga_mods]

This is something the mod team has been discussing for a longer while by now, and didn't really keep secret. Basically, we're thinking about moving the game to Dreamwidth at some point in the near future. There will be multiple benefits to doing that - DW is more stable, offers more options, but most importantly, it has a much bigger roleplaying community, and doing so will let us attract more new players and bring a breath of fresh air into the game.

Remember, this is not something that will happen right here and now. We will take it slow with the moving and let you all know well in advance, so everyone will have the time to speak their mind on this issue and then move their characters comfortably to DW, when we move.

Feel free to discuss your stance on this in the comments to this post, especially if you're against the move. We might decide not to move if a significant number of people is against it, or if someone gives a good reason why we should stay on LJ.

There are good reasons why every other RP has moved already.

1: Livejournal's new interface is like a broken iPod, and while we've implemented some workarounds, there are still some parts of the game which are by necessity still using it. Getting rid of that is a plus.

2: If any of us expect to get castmates that aren't already in the game playing other characters, DW is the only option. ATP doesn't even run on LJ anymore. I've had interest by many people in this game but all of whom don't want to deal with LJ's bullshit.

3: LJ is prone to going down unexpectedly or suddenly slowing to a virtual halt. It's taken me five-ten minutes to post a short tag because of that.

4: The majority of the game wants it.

5: As pointed out above, paid accounts are a better value on DW

6: If something goes wrong with the comms, we'll get much better service from DW
