DW and the future.

[rogueslayer452]

Here is my DW account.

With everything going on and the uncertainty of things, I've decided to finally back things up there. I'll still be posting here for the time being since I'm in the middle of setting up and figuring things out over there, and I'll most likely be posting the same content on both accounts during this period (since crossposting isn't available anymore), but eventually I will be on DW entirely.

(Note: I have tried to import my entries, but they have failed/aborted multiple times, some have said that they've had the same issue with entries/comments, this seems to be an issue on LJ's end and I don't know whether or not it'll be fixed. On one hand I don't necessarily mind starting completely over on DW, however I've been on LJ since 2003 and would love to at least preserve the memories of nearly twenty years of being on this site. So a part of me is kicking myself for not backing things up sooner.)

If you have a DW account, let me know and I'll add you.

I'm going to add you there, same username and everything. I created it ages ago but I don't use it and I haven't figured out how to back up everything just yet :( If you're saying it can't be done anymore... damn!

This sucks, I really liked LJ.

Added you back.

I've been hearing varying reports from different people, about how some have been able to get their entries imported although it took a while, others say it took a really long time (weeks, months) before it finally succeeded, and others are just having no luck at all. There's even been issues with comments not importing, from those who have crossposted for a while now. Regardless, it does seem like the entire system is quite unreliable and broken. I'm hoping that I eventually get lucky enough to get it at the right moment where it works, though, but idk.

I liked LJ too, but things have unfortunately changed and as much as I wished it didn't have to come to this, it has.
