A Possible Mirror Comm for Sherlock60

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

You may recall my personal journal was recently temporarily suspended due to it erroneously being flagged as a source of spam. This had the side-effect of all my posts also temporarily disappearing from sherlock60.

Which brought home to thesmallhobbit and I just how vulnerable the comm is. A great many people, past and present, have put an awful lot of work into sherlock60 and we really don’t want to risk any of that being lost.

Therefore, we are proposing to import a copy of the comm over to Dreamwidth, and then to re-import it at regular intervals as new content is added. (This mirror comm would just be a record, rather than an active community—we would be continuing on LiveJournal.) Before we do anything though, we want to see how everyone feels about this.

I must emphasise that no-one with a live account on LJ would lose control over their copied posts and comments at the Dreamwidth sherlock60. All authors will still be able to manage them using OpenID via LiveJournal. There is a little more information on accessing imported posts and comments here, and more information about using OpenID on Dreamwidth here.

So what do you think?

It's a straightforward way to archive the comm, and things on the internet that aren't archived somewhere... Well, they have a tendency to stop being on the internet.

So I'm beginning to realise ^^"

We'll be sorting out the mirror comm in the very near future now ^_^
