dreamy dream

Idk what I think about this whole ~Dreamwidth~ thing...I hadn't heard about it at all until this morning, although apparently in the "right circles" it's been being discussed for a while. If I was able to sign up for an account and poke around, I'd probably have a stronger opinion, but...not yet, anyway. The whole thing pings me kind of funny. Whatev...I don't anticipate moving, though I might once I give the system a whirl, who knows? Maybe I'm just not a wild new frontier kind of person; I'm not unhappy with eljay, in any case. A lot of the features sound neat, but right now, it's not even an option for me. I'll probably dick around with it when they open up accounts, but I have no interest in going back to 6 (or for that matter, 75) userpics (I AM SO SHALLOW, I KNOW) at any point in the forseeable future. Maybe I'll back shit up there? Or put fic there, since it has larger limits. IDK, all will be revealed in the launch I guess? Unless someone wants to shoot me an invite code, but I'm sure most people don't want to waste them on a cranky old cynic like me XD

Lol yeah, it makes me sound like a bitch, but the whole ~invite code~ thing, while sensible? Just smacks of elitism to me, especially with all the talk about how we need the BNFs~ to switch over. idk man

UM, YES. Exactly. It's like..."And it's different from Livejournal...because you pay for it. And only the cool kids can get in. Huh."

ALSO the whole "It's something I can believe in" thing kind of bugs me. Maybe I'm just a cynic but...why do I have to ~*~*~believe~*~*~* in my blogging site?

I hadn't heard that. Why can't you believe in a site that's not for pay? :?

I think it's more the "it's former lj staff thinking about what lj ~could~ be, blah blah, no ads, blah, user friendly, blah" Idk, lj has always been pretty user friendly for me

Yeah, gotta say. I think the icons are absurdly low for non-paying people who don't want ads in their journals (read:me) but other than that I don't mind it.

[identity profile] mwestbelle.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's always stuff that could be improved, but...Dreamwidth is only offering free users 6 icons. Soooo, no real change, yeah?

...oh yeah, so staying where I am. ROTFL. Again, unless I actually find an incentive to leave. So far? Not convinced.

AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU ARE THE ANTI DREAMWIDTH.

666 IS THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.

:O

GODDAMNIT, HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS A MINION OF SATAN OUT TO DISSUADE SINFUL LJERS FROM THE LIGHT OF DREAMWIDTH?

IT'S A LITTLE KNOWN FACT THAT I AM AN ORDAINED MEMBER OF THE PRIESTHOOD, DON'T YOU KNOW.

[identity profile] mwestbelle.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
O SNAP

AND NO, I DIDN'T KNOW, IT'S LITTLE KNOWN

[identity profile] aceles.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN IT, I SUPPOSE. INDUBITABLY.

[identity profile] mwestbelle.livejournal.com 2009-04-15 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
HEY, YOU CAN'T JUST THROW INDUBITABLY OUT THERE AND PRETEND EVERYTHING'S PEACHY
