question time!

so when this community originally started last week, it was mainly because of ij always being down. ij is still iffy some nights but for the most part it's better. i know people have issues with scribbld -- it's slow loading the friends page; it's difficult to create styles; it's just different from what we're used to. however, ij is still down a lot of the time, and most of the "good" usernames are taken, which i know does make a difference for some people. another option is dreamwidth, but codes are necessary.

so what do you all think we should do? should we stay here, move to insanejournal, or move to dreamwidth? let me know in the comments (not sure how to make a poll, or if you even can) and i'll make a decision by tomorrow!

edit: did one of you register ~futz on ij? i didn't and it was only registered last night. just wondering!

	if it weren't for the difficulties with the friends page, i'd be happy to stay here but i think it might be in the best interest of the community to move it to some place that is ultimately more functional like dreamwidth or ij once everything is sorted out. (Reply to this)

	i think more people might want to join if we move to ij but i'm happy to stay here, i just think it could give the place a boost if we went to ij (Reply to this)

	uns aren't a big deal to me and ij seems to currently be pretty stable, i mean who knows what it'll be like tomorrow or next week but i think it would be worth a try moving there since loading the fp here takes 4 years (Reply to this)(Thread)

	or dw, anything for a fp that loads faster (Reply to this)(Parent)

	honestly i never check my friends page because it takes a crazy long time to get it to load so i just have to look at the specific comms which is a hassle so i'd prefer if we moved somewhere else (Reply to this)

stay here but if we had to move then ij. i know the fp takes a while to load but i usually just open it, pay attention to another window, then come back. i don't find it to be an annoyance. i think we'd definitely get more members if we moved like joe said but i like how, at least in my experience, sribbld is more reliable than ij. maybe we could include more activities to attract more members to the game and encourage pimping?

	i wouldn't mind either way but i do agree with everyone about this site being really slow sometimes which might turn people off to wanting to stick around (Reply to this)

	move! scribbld is annoying and ij is just more convenient, i don't have any decent usernames over there either but i don't think it matters. over here the fp takes forever (which is annoying), you can't have a friends button, and a lot of things are more confusing in general. i think moving to ij would encourage people to pimp and more people to join, too.

	i think move since the fp not or taking forever to load is a pain and not having uns isn't that big of a deal, people get along fine without them all the time and having a fp that functions properly is more important (Reply to this)

	i honestly don't mind either way! as for the friends page issue, i usually just use http://www.scribbld.com/portal/ since it shows the three or so most recent posts in the comms. it's not as convenient once the fp starts moving, but since the subcomms are still a bit slow it's pretty useful (Reply to this)

	kylewilliam 2011-04-28 03:26 am UTC (link)
	i'm cool with either but if ij keeps going down every other day for hours at a time i'd say we just stick it out here (Reply to this)

	aziz 2011-04-28 03:27 am UTC (link)
	i think we should stay here because i have this FUCKING AWESOME UN but really we should go to ij because i can't even deal with this fp anymore (Reply to this)

	ladyg 2011-04-28 03:28 am UTC (link)
	i don't know what you bitches are whining about because the fp works for me if i refresh it once but no i'm kidding, i'd like to stay but we should move if the site is being a buzzkill for everybody (Reply to this)
