What is Dreamwidth, why should I get a code, and what advantages does it offer over LJ, IJ, etc.?

I haven't determined if I'll make the move yet, but one of the things that is attracting me is that the people who run the site have the benefit of having experienced all of LJ's history. I mean, LJ had to do a lot of things by trial and error, they had to make mistakes. LJ was started by one dude with no plan. But these people have been able to look back on that history and say "we would have done this instead" or "that didn't turn out well, let's not do that." Yeah, they're still going to make mistakes, but they're not going to make the same mistakes.

One great thing - you can import your LJ (entries and comments) so it's not like you have to start all over with a blank journal over there. Another thing I like is that they're committed to accessibility for people with disabilities. LJ has mostly said fuck all to that issue.

If you need a code, let me know and I can hook you up.

I'll have to think about it...but given how much of my flist is SCAdians who are staying on LJ, I'm not sure if moving makes any sense for me at this time. It sounds like a good idea, though.

Yes, this. A lot of the "clones" are by people who haven't worked on LJ. I'm impressed by their careful approach to growth.
