ADMIN: LJ's TOS, and the comm's reaction

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

In the wake of the abrupt change in LJ's TOS last month and the concerns of many, the admins of stargateficrec have been discussing our options.

We have created a backup archive of the community on Dreamwidth, but for now, that's all it is. It's a safety measure to ensure that no matter what happens to LJ in the future, 13 years' worth of Stargate fandom won't be lost.

stargateficrec's community members can be divided into two separate types: those that are active in the comm (and we thank you, reccers!), and those that passively enjoy seeing fic recs pop up in their flists. Any future decisions need to serve both kinds. There are, perhaps, a dozen active members, and we aware that some of those active members have chosen to leave LJ and move exclusively to DW; but there are also over 1,800 people who have stargateficrec on their flists. We want to determine how we can best serve our community.

To that end, please take a minute to respond to the poll below. Knowing the reactions of as many comm readers as possible will give us a clearer idea of where to go from here.

I would be happy if you crossposted. Currently I try to read my LJ everyday, and sometimes twice. I look at DW, so far, every week or two. I haven't had time to broaden my circle at DW so I mostly do LJ.
For me, the advantage of having a DW presence would be the possibility of getting new members and new reccers. But, I've been happy with how it is on LJ too.

I recced a couple of times last year. I'd like to do some more in the future, but I'd want to do it in the old familar LJ layout where I have a very messy memories list.

Thanks for your view of things! As a reader and occasional reccer, it's important we get perspectives like yours.
