It doesn't help that the Goat seems to delight in dicking us around.

He does enjoy that these days, doesn't he? :0(

TBQH, I haven't been around much, either. I;'m guessing Tumblr is just winning the fandom competition now.

the problem is that tumblr sucks for conversation. It just really does, and I really wish more fandoms would come back to lj. the problem is that much as LJ is better, most people seem to be on tumblr instead.

I completely agree with you re: Tumblr and it's complete fail at conversation. To be honest, I didn't even know that this comm existed until today when it showed up on my LJ homepage. I've just always assumed that CM fans were quieter than most.

I don't watch the episodes live so I'm always a week or so behind. Perhaps that doesn't help move the fan conversation along... since everyone is onto the latest thing while I'm still marinating in the past ;)

We were on the LJ homepage? Why?

[blythechild.livejournal.com]

Don't panic - it was a suggested entry because I belong to other CM comms. I'm sure that it was just a metrics-tailored notification, not something site-wide ;)

I agree about tumblr, but lj has been pushing the envelope on crappy for a long while. Wonder how many people have moved to dreamweaver?

I have a tumblr, but I can barely figure it out (the layouts and the way it works sucks. IMO). I love LJ, but the owners who run LJ are messing it up. I think this is why a lot of people are leaving to go to Dreamwidth. :0(

[liliaeth]

Well that and because Dreamwidth stans keep tearing LJ down over the least change that lj makes, even if it's an improvement. Honestly, the more DW fans keep pushing it at me, the less I actually use my DW journal.

I was invited to an American Idol related community on there, and at first I thought it was good because it was very active, but I've noticed lately more and more people who post anonymously are leaving snarky comments on my comments for no reason. The latest one was from someone who said, "I like you, please change your icon". None of my icons are offensive in any way (the one I have as my default is this Adam Lambert icon). I miss ontd_ai on LJ, it used to be so active, and with nice people. :0(
