i have finished exporting everything we did on the forum to the journals. they seem to be running a lot smoother now. i'm wondering if we should try to play over there... but also afraid i've just jinxed us. >_> what do you think, dana?

(This is Dana!) I think we should stay on the forum at least until Gaivelous is fixed. It saves Gottis and/or Nevi from having to make a whole new account for a temporary character.
Unless I suppose you feel like uploading a few icons to the mod account? I'll let you guys decide.

Could we start something now, or at least soon? I don't know how long I'll have.

lets do it here, i tried uploading icons to ij and it wont fucking work (This is Carole.) It's not just failing to upload icons, it's now EATING the ones I've already uploaded. They just... disappear. I'm actually at the point where I don't give a shit, so I'm just leaving it as it is. Let's face it, icons were the only thing IJ had going for it. Can we please bite the bullet and switch to the forum? I mean, just look at how active everyone's been over here, and you can see we're enjoying ourselves a hell of a lot more. It's obvious that IJ has been impeding us for a long time. And if you NEED icons to roleplay, you should probably not be in a writing-based hobby.

i feel the same, i just posted a log to ij and already feel "meh" about it because i've been having more fun here >>;;;;
i think on the forum i focus more on the writing, on the journals my eyes just go straight to the userpic... whats the point of that??? we might as well just reply in userpics and nothing else! ij being down has been a blessing because it's reminded me why i used to love roleplaying- the writing. the lj/ij/dw way of doing things is so far removed from that. it is so lazy and... watered down. but while we were swept up in it, i became blind to it.
ultimately its up to dana but my vote is for this place too.

I have to agree, actually! If you were to ask me a week ago, I would have seriously leaned toward IJ, but it's been SO SMOOTH logging without worrying about the icons - no matter how pretty - and obviously it's been working very well, since we HAVE been hella active here. And just the fact that it's easier to talk with everyone, even those that doesn't come on AIM all that often is great, because a huge part of why this RP rocks is because EVERYONE is awesome and that means I want to TALK WITH YOU! lmao mushy we should log here instead >_>

oh but i think dana was right and if nothing else, ij will work as a great place to store stuff that we do, because all you have to do is enter a tag and you get all the logs for that earth

i am really torn. on the one hand i've been enjoying the forum too. it is easy and fast to tag when you dont have to worry about icons. w/o icons you have to describe more things and i've been enjoying that too. on the other hand i miss the icons maybe just bc i've gotten used to them. i will do whatever dana says. see chris was right, i cant fricking make up my mind. lmao

also i feel like the increase in activity is partly an illusion. we've had a ton of new logs for the pirates true, but hardly any for earth19. nathan vs josh carnival corpse was supposed to be over a week ago. so i feel like in some ways though we increased activity, we also decreased it. and i cant say for sure if the increase that we did get was because of the forum or if it was just because we just got naga rei as a character and she's been driving a lot of the plot forward

are we just forgetting that kura introduced a way we can upload icons here if we really really need them

Post by Edward Ikari (wtf) on Mar 8, 2017 21:03:51 GMT
yeah but i prefer quick reply and you cant use icons in quick reply

Post by Edward Ikari (wtf) on Mar 8, 2017 21:04:14 GMT
well kura found a way to do it, but for some reason it would eat a bunch of the icons

well kura found a way to do it, but for some reason it would eat a bunch of the icons kura here. i brought the function back. it probably is still buggy but most of us aren't using icons right now anyway, so you can ignore it or use it if you want. i'll tinker with it later

Post by Silver Sakaki on Mar 8, 2017 21:26:12 GMT
yeah i've only got 52 here when, i think, i used to have 70. i will probably not bother with icons anyway, but this function really is useful, you can format posts without hitting reply

Post by Silver Sakaki on Mar 8, 2017 21:31:22 GMT
wait no, when i use quick reply only 52 show up but when i hit reply all 70 show up. UH?

...double no, now they're ALL showing up in quick reply
