Poll Time!
Well, it's been an interesting week for [former] Livejournal users, to say the least! I started this community after seeing person after person on the epic

news post comments say that they were heading over to Dreamwidth, even though they were sad about leaving friends and communities behind. I figured that if people were really going to leave and make it stick, we'd need a support structure on the other side.lj_refugees now has 225 members! Seriously, my mind is boggled. Thanks to everyone who has joined up, participated, and/or spread the word about this comm. Obviously, it would be nothing without you (wow, that was so sappy)! Obviously with more members comes more activity, so I thought it would be a good idea to put up a poll to gauge members' feelings about several things. The last thing I want this community to become is a nuisance, so if people feel as if they're getting spammed, I'd really like to know.
This poll will be open until next Monday (September 13th)
Some things I hope to do this week:
- Locate a new layout. I chose this one on the fly, and now I'm thinking a different one might work better.
- Create a sticky post with quick reference links for new DW users.
- Work on a FAQ post.
How do you feel about the number of posts at lj_refugees thus far?
Would you prefer if lj_refugees was on moderated posting (with a group of several posts let through the queue at one time, instead of being posted one-by-one as they're submitted)?
I like the community as it is, with open posting and new entries posted as they come in.

There have been a lot of new members since the first friending meme, and with 550+ comments new folks might be hesitant to jump in. Would you like to see Friending Meme: Part Deux? This would probably be posted either Thursday or Friday.
No, thanks
