I'm just thinking out loud here, nothing is decided yet. I just want your input.
As many of you will know, there currently is another LJ-fail going on which causes many people to finally move to dreamwidth. Somewhat similar to the IJ move a few years ago, when we moved snapedom here.
I love IJ. I love IJ as a host for snapedom. But when dw started, I secured the community name, just in case. I could open a snapedom sister community there, with the same challenges and similar rules, only members-only. IJ would remain open for all, no changes here.
Of course there would be different conversations developing here and there. Experience in journal-land shows us that some people never move from lj, some always move to new places, some are everywhere and some don't want any of this... and that's not going to change.
A closed community on dw would be an alternative for those who would rather go to dw than ij and those who feel too harassed by the idiot trolls and Snape-haters who show up here from time to time. On the other hand, two communities would lead to a bit of a split, possibly. I don't know. The crossposting worked well on the Severus Big Bang. The amount of moderation I would do on the closed community wouldn't be more than here.
I would not move old posts to the dw community, that one would get a fresh start (unless Squeaky decides to close IJ, which I don't find likely, at the moment). I would, however, crosspost challenges and general admin posts. The day-to-day adminning would remain site-specific.
So, are you outraged? Indifferent? Delighted? Tell me.
ETA: To clarify, we would NOT move snapedom, just open a 'second branch.' Some people will stay here, others go there, others go to both places, and that is how I'd love to see it.
If anyone needs DW invites, several people have some available. Just post here and arrange it with each other. Or, if you wish, we can get an organized 'DW invites' thread if things get into motion. I want to do some maintenance and revamp the layout while I'm at it, too. So it won't be for a little while, if we decide to do it.
