I'm feeling much better now. Thanks for asking!
I also finally received my unemployment money. So for those keeping track of such things, I was fired in April and just got my money in December! One more advantage to the privatization of government functions in Florida. They keep making it better and better!!! :)
In case you missed it, the results from the Write Off were posted: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1179053.html

Right now I have no idea what the future holds for Idol. I have the two ideas, one mini season and one big anniversary celebration. Hopefully people will be interested in at least one of those things. I just wish that we *could* go back to Live journal. Because DW is quite dead. But from what I've heard not only is LJ dead, that if you don't have a paid account it's just one big Russian pop up. And if you DO have a paid account, you're just funneling money to the Kremlin. So - not very good choices there...

I'm also grateful you've been hosting Idol for so long. Whatever you do next, I will be there :)

Date: 2024-12-16 01:34 am (UTC)1. Here (or a site that uses LJ's format. There are others, but this is the most successful of them)
2. LJ
3. Building a brand new platform to mimic LJ, but of course then you'd have to build the community from scratch.
Jen was a big fan of the last one and was at one point trying to build that platform for us. (or rather had someone working on it) But with her gone, that plan is pretty much out the window too...) Not sure we have enough interest to make that jump at this point either.

Date: 2024-12-16 06:56 am (UTC)These past few months have just had a lot of major stuff happening in my extended family. One funeral and 2 people still in hospital. But your ideas would be next yr and hopefully then things settle down in my family (surely? Please..)

Date: 2024-12-17 09:24 am (UTC)I'm one who doesn't fancy putting idol on fb because of the real name thing, although you now can make sock accounts there. It's not the same, though. I have a few friends who use fb like their old lj and it's quite jarring to see exactly how long their entries are. They occasionally complain they seldom get replies. The major reason is because most people who use fb don't want to read long form stuff so they'll scroll by. I can see that easily happening if idol moved there.
