Somehow we'll make it, 'cause that's what we do

So, DW open beta date has been announced! 30 April, 2009. Yes, it's really really happening - those crazy kids :)

As soon as things actually go live, I'm planning to move my journal over there permanently. I'll probably cross-post back to here but close comments so that they all stay in one place. I'd really like to do a poll, but as I am only a lowly free account here, no such luck :( I would appreciate knowing though...

[ ] I'm planning to move over to Dreamwidth and I'll be paying money for an account.
[ ] I'm planning to move over to Dreamwidth if I can get my hands on an invite code (hint hint :D).
[ ] I've no plans to move, but I'll come comment on your entries over there.
[ ] I've no plans to move and won't comment if I can't do it on LJ.
[ ] Err, I forgot what Dreamwidth is again... remind me?

I myself am hoping to buy a seed account so once things kick off, I should have plenty of coedz to go around...

I'm not going to move to Dreamwidth immediately--if nothing else, I'm going to want a paid account and unnecessary expenses are on hold until June--but I'll certainly comment. If the majority of fandom moves to Dreamwidth I will too, but I'm not really an early adopter when it comes to social networking.

In some ways I want to see how Dreamwidth weathers it's first big fandom wank before I commit. Honestly I'm more afraid of us than of "them" in terms judging what isn't acceptable. Fandom as a whole is a small enough part of LJ for its smaller segments to fly under Six-Apart's radar, but Dreamwidth is going to be mostly fandom, as I understand it, so its radar is going to be much more focused. (And if you've never seen a fannish witch hunt, I envy you.)
