Important interest poll + round 15 tiebreakers

[neonspider]

We are hoping to continue running this community for a while, but putting a lot of effort into a community on such shaky ground right now seems wasted, so we'd like to ask for your opinions about a possible move to Dreamwidth. I hope as many as possible will respond in some way, so we know whether this move would be worth the effort or not.

[Poll #2117053]

The current round may be extended if we do undertake a move right now, because setting things up and learning to use a new platform will require a lot of time. Please stay tuned for updates on this. Feel free to also offer other comments, suggestions and feedback in the comments!

Meanwhile, here are some ties to break from round 15:

Quite honestly, DW and LJ are *identical* to use. They forked off the codebase when DW was founded, and they made a few changes, but nothing major. You can use the exact same formatting (including lj user tags and cut tags etc.) than on LJ and the post will come out exactly as it would on LJ. You have a limited image hosting, just like on LJ, if you want to use that (but you don't have to). There is practically no learning curve involved.

Basically: I wouldn't worry about that.

You might fiddle a while with a community style/layout if you're interested in that, but most people will see it in their own style anyway, so I wouldn't worry about that either.

I tried the import this afternoon, and while posts didn't get through, it did import bio and tags just fine.
