up early, maybe it shows

Hmm, dreamchasers is getting kind of high traffic. It would be cool if another comm for announcing communities (not personal journals) was created, so that those interested in comms could just subscribe to that.

Anyway I guess I'm only looking for my friends, but there are only 100 of them, whereas potentially thousands of DW users.... If all of them post to the same comm (or even a thousand) to announce their new journal, things are going to get very high traffic. Maybe there should be an alternate way for those who wish to be found on DW to enter in their usernames? On other websites, it's done with email addresses, but this has caused some problems on LJ. Maybe someone could make another website where we can login using our LJ openIDs to be added to a database, and then add in our new DW username, and it would automatically show who else on our LJ flist was in the system?

That would be an interesting hack, because then the people who want to be found from LJ/IJ/JF would be able to be found. A lot of people on dreamchasers aren't exactly forthright about their links to old LJs, after all.

Yeah, I don't quite get that. I mean, I understand wanting a new leaf, I don't understand introing yourself as random!stranger. I think I will unsubscribe from it.
