importing communities?

[zanthinegirl]

 Hi guys! 

I'm a maintainer of a small LJ community.  I imported my personal journal ages ago and cross-post these days, but what with the renewed DDoS attacks it seems like a good idea to import the community as well.  However I'll be darned if I can figure out how to do it.  Oddly, I can upload it to my personal journal, but that's not what I'm trying to do!  There must be a way, right?

I apologize in advance if this has already been asked and answered.  I looked through the tags and didn't see it addressed!

So to quote the existing FAQ (and play devil's advocate), how would this be done in a "non-evil way"?

For example, a) if I didn't have an account here and wasn't interested in opening one up, I probably wouldn't be keen on having my entries imported somewhere else. (The same applies to imported comments I suppose, though.) b) What about locked community posts, which presumably may have been locked to prevent sharing outside of the community it was posted to?

Also, c) Would community posts from LJ users show up as openID? I can't remember if openIDs can post to comms on LJ or here, or not.

I can't answer all your questions, but from what I understand, the same argument as for comments would work, and one of the changes planned is to make it so OpenID accounts can post to communities. Originally, OpenIDs couldn't post to communities on either service; LJ has since changed their code so that OpenIDs can now post to comms over there, but we haven't got that update over here yet.
