Closing Time  
Well, I never actually thought I'd get to this point, but like many others, I'm now leaving LiveJournal. Between the layout change, the frequent bugs, the inability to access important functions, the promised "improvements" in a later update, and most especially the dismal customer support and dismissal of legitimate concerns, I don't see much reason to give my money to LJ anymore, whether through paid accounts or ad revenue. So, I'm in the process of phasing out my LJ and moving the journal over to Dreamwidth now.

Regarding KHFFR, SOAS and KH_Het
Considering the fact that KHFFR has been dead on its feet for a long while now, I'm prepared to just turn off moderated members/posting and let it die a natural death. [livejournal.com profile] princealia, [livejournal.com profile] yume_no_kage, if you wanna discuss anything on that with me, then please do. But as for me personally, I have no real vested interest in keeping KHFFR going.

I am actually not the maintainer of Snakes on a Sora, and considering we haven't posted any new sporkings there in a long time, I imagine it will do as it always does and stay there for people to read. I'm not planning for any more sporkings there, though...right now any sporking interest is currently focused on It's Just A Game.

I'm not sure if there's really enough interest in KH_Het ([livejournal.com profile] kh_het has always been a very slow community), but if people actually really want it, I'll be happy to set up a new comm for it on Dreamwidth. Otherwise, it'll do as Snakes on a Sora is doing and stay as is.

Regarding [livejournal.com profile] itsjustagamerp
Don't worry, current and potential Jaggers! We'll be seeing how things go these next few days, and start on decision-making after Christmas. No matter what happens, the game isn't going poof...I've got way too much I want to do in it still for that! ;) But that'll get some discussion a bit later, and over at the actual iJAG comms. Right now, this post is mostly in regards to my personal journal.

I'll still be around a little bit longer as I try to import my entire journal over to Dreamwidth, which I'm sure will take a bit of time as I figure out how the new site works. But starting in 2012, I don't believe I'll be posting here any more. I don't want to lose touch with friends, though, so here's the other places you can keep up with me:

- I am LynxGriffin over on Dreamwidth now, of course!
- My Plurk is where I do most of my talking about ongoing life, work, RP and art things nowadays. My plurk is public and I do not mind people just watching but not friending.
- My DeviantART, where I post most of my artwork, especially fandom-related.
- My Facebook is primarily for friends, family and business contacts. Unlike other places, if I do not already know you there, you won't be added. I don't use my FB much.
- I am also considering getting a Tumblr, but I haven't much gotten around to it yet, and if I did, it'd likely just be for specific projects or art posts.

If you want to follow me, feel free to check those places, and if you're already there, feel free to add me! I'll also post here again when everything's fully moved over and I'm ready to keep on with my stream of LP videos, art and doodles. ;)

Hope everyone who celebrates it has a wonderful Christmas, too!

I haven't had an interest in KH in a long, long time, so I don't know what to tell you. I think we should just give it to them and let them do what they want.

Alrighty! Will wait to see if Yume has anything to say, but if not, then will just turn off moderation and go "have fun, kidlets."

We really outta just hand it over to one of them. Maybe whoever still posts there the most. For some reason, I'd rather not let it get completely run over.

Hmm...I suppose we can put up a post asking if anyone in particular wants mod access? I can't even remember who posts there the most now. x_x

Me either. They might not even be on LJ anymore either. I don't want to say delete since it's not really our community, but having no mods isn't much better.

I think the only ones with the power to actually move the community right now is us, considering the original maintainer hasn't been seen in yeeeeears.

And no, I wasn't thinking we should delete it...there are still good posts there. But if none of us are there, maybe we should at least ask if someone else wants to take over first.

Can we move it, then? She might be the only person who can. Then again, we can change the other stuff, so possibly not.

I'm down for that

We possibly could...but at least in this case, I'd rather not, especially since I don't want to mod it anymore. |D

Okay, I'll ask about that sometime soon.

I added you on DW -- also, I'm not sure if you saw my shout-out, but I got your card ♥ Thank you so very much.

Sweet, glad that you got the card and that you liked it! :D *will add back!*

I will miss KHFFR a lot but at the same time I feel like there isn't really a need for it anymore. What there is to rant about has already been ranted about to death.

I think I will be moving to dreamwidth as well. I don't usually complain about changes but this new update is just weird.

Just a warning about tumblr. It can be addicting. At least for me lol.

Yeeeah, I feel like we've passed the point of much needing to rant like back when it first started...I'm totally happy doing fandom things without needing to rant there, anyway.

I've usually been of the "it'll all blow over" mindset, but after seeing everything just in these past few days...yeeeeah, I'm done trying to deal with it all, especially since I don't use this journal nearly as much as I used to.

That's what I heard, so I worry some! XD

I am your silent stalker in all those places muwahahah except for plurk... wtf is plurk?

LJ has found a new low... I want to disconnect myself but I'm thinking that's going to be hard, since I know I have some good friends on LJ who aren't leaving...

As for KHFFR, I agree with Wolfiemon, everything that's can be ranted about has been ranted about to death.

OH NOES STALKING Plurk is kind of like the unholy lovechild of Twitter and AIM. XD There's a 140-character limit, but replies to your posts are all collapsed under that one Plurk. It also takes on a sideways-scroll approach along a timeline, and it's got some nifty features like custom emotes.

Yeah, same here. :( I don't want to loose touch with people that I probably wouldn't see otherwise! Or particular artists that I stalk, but I dunno if they post journals anywhere else.

Preeeetty much. It seems even with new games, most of the rants at their core are the same now.

Hey there! I added you on DW. (I crosspost pretty much everything to lj and dw these days.) So many people are migrating, though, that I'm thinking about doing a "please tell me where else you are before you leave!" post. The only reason I'm staying on lj is that almost all of my Robin Hood fanfriends and communities are here, and until [livejournal.com profile] hoodland" up and moves, I'm... not exactly stuck, but likely to stick around.

Okay sweet, saw that! And yeah, I think most people have been staying for communities...if most of the fandom ones pack up and leave too, then that may signal people just not coming back to LJ at all. :P

Added you on Dreamwidth. :) I've been crossposting through there for a long time, though now it just might become a one-stop place with so many people moving over there.

Hope you have a great Christmas, too. XD

Added back! And yeah, we'll definitely see how things go.

Thanks much!

Okay, I'll add you on Dreamwidth, having made an account there a couple of days ago. LJ has really gone and stuffed things up this time, hasn't it? I mean...what is the point in removing subject lines, introducing a terrible comment system and then just *not listening to anyone*?! Grr. Now to figure out how to port my journal over...

I received my copy of Lunargyros in the mail last week, and I love it! Read it in one sitting.

Merry Christmas!~

Yeah, once you make the journal, there's a method to import all your old journal stuff! I was able to import my layout too, although there's still some bugs in it.

:D! Yaaaay, so glad that you enjoyed it a lot!
