A lot of people aren't on LJ, though -- as a place to look for an announcement of where to find us, it's fine, but for any extended discussion, nsm.

Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

That's true, amy. I was just thinking that now that LJ registration doesn't require an invite code, and is free, that it's not too far removed from joining PF.
We can still use WX, depending on what the contingency is. It wouldn't work long-term, since free users are limited to 10 posts a day, but it's still available.
ita, Lance is currently getting a severe cluesticking. Whether it'll do any good, who knows?
So yeah, a secondary backup might not be a bad idea.
You can still read and post in LJ without actually being registered, right? I could be making this up because I am registered.
Yes, you can.
You can post comments anonymously, but I don't think you can make community entries without a registration.
I think it would probably work as a contingency plan for a day or so. Registration is free, so I agree that it wouldn't be that different from joining Peoplesforum or WX.
I don't think LJ is really a viable contingency. Long comments threads are meddening to navigate, and I think the threadedness would drive us mad. It might work for announcements, but not for regular posting.
Agree with Sue - and the anonymous posting bit could make it even harder to follow.
I think Lance needs more than a cluesticking. I actually think he needs an asskicking. Talk about hard-headed. Good grief.
