egl_archiveI was wondering what everyone's thoughts on all the main EGL communities are, personally I am getting a bit confused & wished there were only two main ones, you know like the way Fruits do it with the main Communtity & the Fruitsy Auctions one. What do you kitties think? Also I think its a bit annoying this one has no Mod so we can't change anything on the Info Page to link to a Selling Community so that newbies know about it... Just some thoughts! I dunno, what would everyone think of closing all the other ones & starting again with a fresh two, A couple of mods, some rules, better names, layouts etc... If everyone is interested we could all unjoin the current redundant ones & just go join two main ones, I don't know but it would be much easier to keep track & have everyone in the same places rather than scattered all over, if this is a stupid idea please let me know! By no means is this a hit on anyones attemps to create other Loli Communities, they are great but at the moment not many people have joined those other ones & it doesn't seem likely that it will happen on the scale of this one...

EDIT: Ok in reply to all the comments here are some points:
1)If we can all agree to bring together all the smaller International EGL Communities & the Auction type ones then we could make two commmunities (Name ideas?), one for posting whatever & the other for Shopping/Auctions etc...
2)They would both be exactly the same as here (Ie for those of you who raised the issue of freedom etc, there would only be very light moderating going on, basically all posts would be allowed, the only thing we would keep an eye would be if an auction post is in the wrong place or a flame war starts etc then it might be deleted at the discredtion of the mods!) We would simply separate general chitchat & those posts selling items.
3)Does anyone want to go ahead & create a new community, can we all decide on two names that would be fun & Appropriate at all? Once the Communities have been created, 4 mods (Or More!) could be selected to help start it up & those who offered to help with layouts could also then help to make it pretty & add small rules to both communities aswell & also must remember to link each community to each other.
4) We cannot change anything unless everyone aggrees to do their bit, so if everyones happy to do this then it would be fun I think, otherwise I guess we could stay in the same disorganised way forever, but its up to all of us if we want something to change!
I hope some of this makes sence & I wonder if we can make this happen, can anyone think of two relavant names for these communties, Both need to be relevant to Gothic Lolita Fashion & the Shopping one needs to have the same name as the first but with some kind of word indicating its purpose, hope that makes sense...

Date: 2004-01-24 12:40 am (UTC)Now, names, names, names...
egl_auctions is a pretty obvious & simple one for the shopping community...or egl_shopping. Neither are taken.
Too bad egl is already taken (duh ^^). It would be nice to have a community with 'egl' in the name, but I suppose that's not required. lolita_elegance? loligoth? Mou?

Re: I *love* organization!
Date: 2004-01-24 02:55 am (UTC)I love the inclusion of "elegance" in the title of the main comm.... a derivitative like elegant_loli might be good as well.... ^^
great suggestions! ^.^ I wouldn't have htought of the other ones without yours... >>;

Date: 2004-01-29 12:43 am (UTC)Names and groups
Date: 2004-01-24 05:15 am (UTC)Also, would the regional communities, like texas_lolis and the European one, be consolidated as well? Maybe if they were kept seperate, all the, "Let's meet up at such-and-such place at this time," sort of posts would have their own place, and wouldn't be clogging the list for people who aren't in the area.

Date: 2004-01-25 01:41 pm (UTC)how about just elegantgothiclolita ? very simple, easily found and keeping the same name as this one..almost!...
maybe it's a bit too long though.

Date: 2004-01-26 09:24 pm (UTC)It'll also be good to have a more organised community including the layout, icons & information.
For the shopping community
lolita_elegance is nice for a main community name, I wouldn't mind creating the account if it's needed and helping with the icons, layout & information. ^^

Date: 2004-01-27 02:45 pm (UTC)In that case I vote that the main community be named lolita_elegance and the shopping/aution community be named lolita_boutique.
The names are pretty, similar and have an historical/aristocratic feel to them. ^^
If you need any help with anything just say!

Date: 2004-01-27 08:03 pm (UTC)I didn't realize there were so many egl communities. If you lolis want to get rid of them all and start two main ones, don't leave me out please! (I know I don't post any pics of myself but I still like to listen to what you guys say to each other!!)
And on the subject of names, maybe we should keep the word "lolita" out of the username, to avoid such confusion as we saw in that deviantart post. O.o
