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.

Actually, what we DO lose is everything between the official move and when Shaun imported the community. Unless we can import AGAIN

That should be possible, shouldn't it?

Last time I tried that with Sora's journal, it actually did "import the entire journal again" - it made copies of all the old posts in addition to adding the new ones. I don't know if that's true for communities as well. Although, if there's a relatively convenient option for it, there's no reason we can't just purge all posts from the Dreamwidth comm and do it again.

I think that's why most of the other comms that moved over there from LJ had some sort of 'stop posting/commenting' period before they moved. Unless I read it wrong.

But yeah, what Salsa said.

I think you CAN import stuff again.
