ADMIN: Comm moving to Dreamwidth

[fignewton]

Several weeks ago, in response to the latest upheaval at LJ, we imported this community as a backup archive. After seeing the responses on our long-running poll and extensive discussion among the mods, we have made the decision to move stargateficrec fully to Dreamwidth.

The comm on LiveJournal will not disappear. All entries will remain; all memories will remain. It will not even go completely static, because we will be posting a round-up of links to the entries on the DW comm on a monthly basis. The main activity, however, will move here.

For the months of August and September, as part of the transition process, we will allow posting at both communities, both on LJ and DW. No reccer, of course, will be expected to post simultaneously; the mods will post an end-of-month entry on both comms with links to the recs that were made on the other platform.

The sign-up post for August will go up shortly. We have also slightly tweaked the reccing rules, and we think it will make things easier.

stargateficrec has a long, satisfying history, and we have no intention of seeing it dwindle away. We hope you will all continue to enjoy the recs from the Stargate fandom, whether you are reading, reccing, or being recced, both here and on LJ.

If you have any questions or observations for us, please comment below.

Will you be importing the contents of the LJ comm onto DW to serve as a backup archive?

[fignewton]

Yes, that is already done. The only thing not yet backed up is July, which will be done at the end of this month.

As you're the second person to ask this, I will be modifying the entry to include that information. It's in the profile, but I know many people don't see that.

I was on vacation and didn't see this; so thank you so much for the pointer. I plan to become more active with signing up for recs now that that will be possible on the DW side. I imagine I will start with September as August is crazy busy for me.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for moving to DW. Once I get a better grip on my schedule, I'll see about reccing in the near future.
