Setting up...

[phyncke]

I am setting up RP journals and some graphics journals on dreamwidth - in anticipation of possibly moving things over here. What are other people doing about that. I am just curious. This redesign is surely coming, an impending fact of our online lives so I wonder what people are doing.

I don't see much life over here yet but the interface is snappy, the service is better. A kinder, gentler blog-o-sphere. And I have a permanent LJ and even with that, would consider a migration if the community were doing that.

Is it time to make a plan? I am not encouraged by this article (found posted a few places on the flist)

I got mildly peeved at the lack of consideration that we as loyal users are getting. So for lack of that, why stay? Really. I would like to know what the thought is.

I haven't read the article, but I can't do it. I can't move. I tried. I still have a DW account and I also had a Greatest Journal account (but I think they bombed). Not feeling Insane Journal either (if they're still around). Been on LJ since 2001, it's just....home. The subject line and the choosing user pics thingies really haven't bothered me. There's been so many changes over the years and I'm still here. *shrugs*

The article is worth reading to see the motivation behind what LJ is doing. They really don't care about us at all. LOL. It is all about profit for them and turning the site into something we might not like. So that is worth a read.

I am not sure what I will do but I am raising the issue. At a certain point they might make the site unworkable for their users. For example -- my RP had to move because of the changes --- and that is migrating to DW. So that might be happening more and more with these changes.

What's an RP? I only know it as Roleplaying.

RP is role play or RPG role playing game is more correct.

That's what I thought. I automatically think of RP as the same as RPG because of the way we used to play. :)
