Y'know, I absolutely get where you are coming from on this. I was reading something last week – something Pros related, although now I'm not sure if it was the newsletter or one of the comms – but I remember thinking, wow. There really is a Pros community on LJ now. I remember when people on a list I was on were so resistant to LJ, and now there is this thriving little community.

So moving wasn't something I did lightly, and I know I'm going to lose people, and I get all of the reasons I'm going to lose them – my recent multi-never-met-a-fandom-I-didn't-like craziness (I mean, really - American Idol? Did you slip and fall in the bathtub, Susan? ::g::) The complications for commenting if you don't have a DW or an Open ID account. The fact that you may have been more inclined to comment if there was a comment thread you were interested in – which now you can only read by going over to DW and why click on an extra link?

So I get all of those reasons. But the fact is the core of my community – and I don't mean a particular fandom community but the people I have known through various fandoms for many years – is moving to DW and interested in strongly supporting DW. And so I'm going where that very individualized, more-personal-than-fannish community is. And selfishly hoping some people will follow me there.

But I totally get it why some people won't! ::g::
