Sometimes, the old names are the best

[slowfox]

Having become a little disillusioned with Twitter, definitely fallen out of love with LiveJournal, been creeped out by Facebook and not gone near things like Myspace et al, I was indeed pretty intrigued by DreamWidth when it was first mentioned to me.

Getting back into the swing of posting may take a little while, but I'm going to do my best to stick around.

Excellent!

[slowfox]

:D

It feels good to be back!

Heh, so that means I can hand out that invite code after all ;)

Welcome!

[slowfox]

Yep - as it turns out, I got an invite direct from DW, because I'd signed up waaaaaaaaaay back to be kept in touch of developments. ;-)

[anotherpenguin]

Excellent news! Welcome "back" :)

[slowfox]

Yep, 'back' indeed - It was a shame to turn my back on LJ, but that place had consistently moved away from what I'd thought it was, and what it had meant to me. It's nice to have the opportunity to start afresh, here, with a site that seems to be more in keeping with LJ's original ethos. :-)

[anotherpenguin]

Oh yes, I couldn't agree more. I've been so disappointed with LJ lately... and I never really got used to twitter enough to update regularly.

And the great thing about DW is that I can cross-post effortlessly to LJ, so the part of the friends-list who remains there can still communicate with me :) That's... really cool :)

I hope everything has been fine for you during all this time !

[slowfox]

Yep, I've been fine - just dropped off LJ for the aforementioned reasons, and found Twitter nowhere near as much fun once they pulled SMS functionality from those of us in this green and pleasant land.

Haven't looked into the cross-posting functionality myself - am content just to work with the community that's on DW, at least for now :-)

Hi, already missed you on Twitter!

[slowfox]

As I mentioned in the post, I've been a little disillusioned with Twitter - not only the fail whales and the 'over capacity' notices, but also the loss of SMS functionality (when Twitter was fully mobile-phone enabled, it was genius).

I find it ironic, incidentally, that I seem to be picking up more followers (spambots, lamentably) since I stopped tweeting than when I was actively posting there!

Anyway, I'm here on DW now, and I'm hoping to stick around this time :-)

I was so happy to see your name in my inbox again. :)

[slowfox]

♥ ;-P

Glad to see you, too :-)

*grin* Welcome back, mate. I've missed your posts.

[slowfox]

*smiles*

It's good to be 'back' - and amusing how we all use 'back' for a brand new site. Amusing, yet appropriate. I'm aiming to stick around, but I've probably got some catching up to do on where everyone's lives are at these days...

*GLOMPHS*

I'm so glad to see you here.

[slowfox]

*glomps* :D

Am glad that you're here too!

Hi *waves*

I hope you don't mind me adding you, having just spotted you over here, I'm not really posting on DW but I'm definitely reading and loving seeing some old names come back out of the woodwork! :D

[slowfox]

*waves madly back*

Of *course* I don't mind being added! *adds back*

Hello again!

[slowfox]

:D Hello indeed!

Classy icon, btw: don't I hold the world record at that game?</idle-question> ;-P

[uninvitedcat]

Probably - although I've scored a new personal best in Bejewelled 2 recently (somewhat over 6 million!)

[slowfox]

I only do games of skill, not ones of chance</sore-loser> ;-P
