Journal FortKnox's Journal: I don't see Multiply going away... 16
Sorry to all the nay-sayers, but I pretty confident now that multiply isn't going away. I already find myself going to that page before slashdot. I'd suggest picking it up, just so you have an ID there and are associated with it in case we don't come back.
Here's me as a starting person to be joined to. Make sure you give me you /. id when you join, though.
FYI - I've requested to the site a way to grab /. historical journal entries, and they are considering it (they already have this feature for blogger, blogspot, etc...). I'd also like to see cross-posting for those too stubborn to leave...

I have to say I am doing the same... I still come here, but only after taking care of all of my business on Multiply. Multiply seems better equipped to nurture a community than slashdot is, and it's a whole lot less buggy. That, and the site does not do a port scan after every comment post...
I'm still hanging on here for a little while, while there are still people here that haven't jumped, but my involvement here has dropped some.

I'm curious though what the thought is on getting new blood into the circle though?

I have thought about that as well, and that's something I am not sure how will be answered. I suppose there will be some that will come based on outside contact with people already in the group, and I suspect there will be the holdouts here that draw them in. It certainly will NOT be as easy as wandering in like it is here, though, which has its pluses - so far, no obvious trolls.

Is there any way to make the discussions threaded? The couple of longer ones that I am seeing in emails are getting a little confusing.
So I will want to stay networked there, but it will be unusual to see me writing anything.

Unless something changes, I don't see myself lasting too long over there. The point of this exercise is participation, and if I can't do that most of the time I'm online, I'm not likely to pursue it. The friend thing may keep me interested for a while, but what's the use if I can't participate?

My involvement with Multiply is going to be down as well for that reason - that, and I'm getting busy with the band stuff...
