Temporary Ugliness To Prevent Worse Ugliness

[superheroine]

ATTN: PARADISA

In the wake of LJ's Epic Fail (see post below) I have switched the main comm to Minimalism and enabled custom comment pages. While this will not save you entirely, it should make the RP at least *playable* until LJ fixes this shit.

Please pass this on to anyone on your plurklist/buddylist/street.

Thanks,
Jenn


EDIT:
paradisa and paradisalogs are changed over. paradisaooc, however, I can't do anything about, because it is not a paid community. CATCH TWENTY-TWO MUCH?

Assuming LJ actually does fix shit.

PS: Pretty sure notifs are broken now. Or at least mine are.

Would it be possible for the OOC comm to be switched too? There are some important planning and world-building posts here that are basically impossible with the new comment pages.

[superheroine]

Working on that now!

[superheroine]

For some reason, it is not budging. I'm poking around some more.

[molotov]

Take your time, hon!

[superheroine]

Sadly, it cannot be done -- paradisaooc is not paid, which is why it doesn't work over here.

[molotov]

omg i cannot even


JENN I CANNOT EVEN

[superheroine]

Nope :(

Paradisa is paid through to August; it'll work until at least then. Logs will die in March, and I guess if this isn't solved/we haven't moved, we could just absorb the logs comm into the main comm to cover us :\

[molotov]

idk man, i just don't know.....

i just can't forsee the rp community staying on lj if they don't fix this shit.

[superheroine]

Nor do I. It was always a rather odd format -- there's almost no flow of time in many of the comment threads -- but now it's just rather unusable.

[molotov]

i'm just saying..... i know that dw can import all content from lj. idk if ij can do that too, but now might be the time to start making preparations.

[superheroine]

We've had backup comms on dw since early this year, around March -- just after the first batch of serious DDoSing. Fudgey, Kayla and I thought of making a 12-month plan to slowly phase Paradisa over to DW, but things settled down and the plan got nixed.

I'm only mod for another, oh, ten days or so but I'll see about getting those backup comms turned over to the new staff before I go.

Also, yes, DW can import, but it cannot import communities -- there's a creative issue because they'd need permission from every account to repost their stuff.

[molotov]

omg i didn't know they couldn't import communities :( jesus christ this shit is so ridiculous

[superheroine]

mmhmm..


I switched paradisaooc over to plus from basic so we can have customized comment pages.

[willing-sheath.livejournal.com]

o/ I... don't know a whole lot... or if someone has mentioned this--but I saw something floating around plurk today that DW is implementing changes in order to import the com.

Maybe...

D| I was on my phone at work and... I haven't tracked the stuff down again yet, I just saw it pop up about ten different times... SO... JUST... CHIMING IN!

[superheroine]

I've heard about it, but honestly, staff has yet to discuss moving, so we'll be waiting until it gets up, anyway.

[willing-sheath.livejournal.com]

*nodnod* Well it's only been a day so it's probably a bit too early anyway. I just wanted to point out that the com thing might have changed just so it was in the idea hat!

;o; thanks for all the awesomeness in getting the coms readable, by the way <3

Doin' what we gotta do in the worst of times. Hang onto your hats, Paradisa! We'll all pull through!

Best wishes,

Thank you, guys! This was a really sweet thing to wake up and see in the midst of all this mess. <3

[emit.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, SP! ♥

Thank you darling! <33

[admonishes.livejournal.com]

IT'S COOL. We love you long time. ♥

:( Ugh, LJ.

[detectivegenius.livejournal.com]

i am all in favor of moving somewhere else because LJ just keeps on digging itself deeper and deeper as new things come into light
