On LJ and moving here...

I know you're waffling a little. Just take your time and see what happens. I'm good either way.

Not bad. I've been mostly getting handwaved by my mun. She graduated this time last year and went straight into graduate school, and that was the end of much free time. But I'm hoping to get out a little more now that she's getting a handle on it.

I think if people can get comment subjects, thread links, and previews back, they'll end up staying over there after all... but unless that happens, it's the death of RP as we know it on that site. With the way most players migrate from account to account and comm to comm anyway, switching to a service that continues using the features they're accustomed to is probably easier than learning new features and new workarounds. Especially if it becomes possible to port over old comm entries. But we'll see... one of my alts is waiting for his posts to make their way here. The post-import queue is more than a thousand journals deep. Which makes me glad that I and the rest of my alts did our importing ages back.

Yeah, this is true. I think my mun is more upset about the attitude of the owners, really. That and some of the apparent stuff they're pulling. Still, there's pretty much only the one game, and if it moves here. we're pretty much done there.

Mun says to tell yours good luck.

Yeah, the thing that kept pulling my mun back was the games; most of the ones that didn't die fast never left LJ. Plus a lot of people don't want to give up the places where they started. I know I hate the thought of deleting my stuff over there... where I met Ellie, all of those amazing interactions... even though I've copied most of it over here, it still feels wrong. Like paving over the place where you had your first date and turning it into a parking lot. I've reread a few community posts, though, and the sad part is they're already filling up with holes, ever since that ability to nuke every post and comment you ever made, when leaving, came online. Posterity ain't what it used to be.

She says to tell your mun thank you. (I think she's mostly having fun, even if she did get almost no sleep for about a week.) How is your mun doing, aside from this upset?

[rather_be_surfing]

Same here. It's just the one game now, though, and it looks like they're at least playing with the idea of coming over.

And yeah, I know the feeling. Lot of stuff over there. But we've imported once before; and you can apparently do it more than once.

Mun says she's doing good; actually thinking/actively looking to move this coming year, to get closer to family.
