It's not possible to crosspost community entries from DW to LJ or vice versa. It's also not part of the DW code to import an existing LJ community to DW
My question about that is whether that's because it would never be possible to do so or if it's because the ability to do so just doesn't exist yet. Because if it's never going to be possible, then tough for us. But if it's just because the ability hasn't been implemented, wouldn't it be possible to talk to the people in charge about maybe making that happen? Because that would be AWESOME.
Once we get to the end of Angel S5, maybe things will have changed and we'll be able to do a wholesale import to DW for posterity.
Yeah, I was thinking that, too.
and now it will never be all in one searchable place again.
Yeah, I've often wished we could have an archive for it along the lines of Just Rewards.
I'm equally interested in finding old and new material, so I'm all for maintaining existing sources and making them more accessible for discovery, while creating copies in hopefully more stable environments where ever possible. What I absolutely HATE is people deleting existing repositories without backing them up somewhere first.

I am COMPLETELY with you on this.
