OOC

Since my faith in LJ has pretty nearly failed, Jen's joining in the possibly moving to DW crowd and she's over this away.

Of course, there's always the chance LJ will actually listen to its client base, maybe.

I just discovered a DW layout community with lots and lots of pretty overrides.

http://dreamwidthlayouts.dreamwidth.org/

I am officially pleased as punch.

[jadedgiantess.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh, you bring the best kind of news.

[anothercopycat]

Sweet jeebus, yay!!

you can also use some lj layouts on dw, as well. /busting out all my dw knowledge.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

I heart you. <3 See?

I'm all pleased about a mass exodus now, solely because I can make things look pretty and never see the loading spinner again.

[mtrlstc.livejournal.com]

if you need any help, lemme know, but it should be pretty straight forward. keep in mind though: SOME LAYOUTS WON'T WORK. like, they just don't. a lot do, tho.

being able to pretty up your account makes all the difference, lol. coco's been on dw since may of 2009, apparently, so i'm currently in the middle of deciding whether or not to clean up her old account or just make a new one. once figure that out, i'll start adding everyone, etc. :3

... and i need to remember to make the christmas gift post at some point since i dropped the ball on the party post, lol. whoops.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

You're the best. :D

While the latest lj release states they're trying to fix some of our concerns... it just seems like so much bullshit at this point. Especially since everything else points to them redesigning everything in the new year anyway. It's just not worth it anymore, and I am too old for this crap.

Not your fault, LJ exploded and distracted everyone. LJ RUINED COCO'S CHRISTMAS OMG.

[mtrlstc.livejournal.com]

flattery gets you everywhere! :')

if they're going to redesign, they definitely need to take all these concerns into consideration. i mean, how fucking hard is it to add a couple things to a layout they're already working on? fingers crossed. :/

DAMN YOU LJ. but, also bambi.

[notiaraincluded.livejournal.com]

Aaaw!

I was totally ready to just be lazy and not make an account there til I saw this.

[jadedgiantess.livejournal.com]

I don't want to force anyone, I'm just really tired of the way they ignore customer preference and throwing good money after bad to a company that doesn't care.

I should just surrender and make Leif a DW journal. DW seems really nice -- plus there's an import tool, apparently, so I don't have to lose all my posts. :D

FINE I GIVE IN. XD gdit lj, i've stuck with you through SO MUCH but this is...enough...

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

The import is super easy to use. I did mine this morning. :D

[holdon-together.livejournal.com]

I think the sole factor that there IS an import tool is going to heal my LJ-wounded heart. Because seriously, that's amazing. :DDD

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

I'm really liking it so far. The lack of ads on the free accounts is nice too.

[holdon-together.livejournal.com]

I might have to buckle down and buy a paid account tho, sob. Oh well, it'd be worth it to not have the CONSTANT fuckery that is LJ. :////

[jadedgiantess.livejournal.com]

The dark side has cookies in the form of much better layouts, navigation, and usability. Also, importing.

[holdon-together.livejournal.com]

Oooo, usability. :DDDDD And I am LOVING this import tool. And apparently there's already a SWS, and talks of making a SmuttySWS too?

[jadedgiantess.livejournal.com]

Exactamundo.

Even if I'm going to have to break down and buy the giant paid thing-y.

[holdon-together.livejournal.com]

Me tooooo. I can't go from 170 icons to 15. :|||||

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

There is a SSWS! It's not up and running yet, looks like, but it sure looks like the same mod.

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

I'm over on DW too, now! Metody there is tothebone

My faith in LJ is pretty low. Ye gods, the suck.

[jadedgiantess.livejournal.com]

Adding Metody nowish.

They've gotten worse and worse and less likely to actually give a crap.

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

They're down so darned much. I've been sticking around for the RP, but if the RP might move somewhere else, I am all for it.

[jadedgiantess.livejournal.com]

Seriously, escaping the political fallout stuff and still getting decent rp would totally make my day.

[metody-green.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, there's political stuff too?
