I'm concerned that not everyone will know where we've moved.
If she follows and re-registers to avoid our blocks, he will then take action.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ita, I know you posted this once, but could you post the new PF link again?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
He's suggested putting a disclaimer and re-pointer in the header -- I asked him if he could put it in each "real" thread, and also if he could remove "Buffistas" from the thread names.
I guess I see his point, but...feh. Not having that kind of control over "our" threads was why I always preferred WX.
Definitely remove "Buffistas" from the title, and also get rid of out Stors, if they're still there.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

When we first set up Diaspora Natter, Lance offered us our own folder, much as what he's given us now, but we were already pretty settled in at WX so we declined.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Just ask him to drop the word "Buffista".
That seems good to me. Are there really folks out there who know where we are at PF but can't find us at WX or here? I have no problem with ceding the original space at PF (since we're set up with new threads) rather than shutting them down and forcing a conflict.
Mind, if I thought we were likely to go through this again, I might not be so conciliatory. Dropping our name from the infected threads does seem like the easiest short term solution, though.

If we're at PF, there is no here, so people like Perkins who needed the link reposted wouldn't have easy access to the info.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The Buffista Yahoo! group is still functional. If both "here" and WX go down at the same time and we have to fall back on PF, the URL can be posted through the Yahoo email.
If the PF non-member blocks have teeth, then I can concede leaving pointers in each abandoned thread header. But I'd really rather not.
Just my atavism talking.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Well, considering the problem poster at issue has been reading here, she may already have the links to the new folder.
Don't know that pointers would be a problem.
