meme: year end roundup!

[stacyexperiment]

It's December 30 and this might very well be our last meme of 2014, so how about a roundup of the year?

This is gonna work like a questions meme: Players respond ICly to questions about THIS LAST YEAR OR UPCOMING YEAR. For instance, "Who's someone you're glad you met this year?" or "What are your new year's resolutions?" or "What are you looking forward to in the coming year?" All answers are IC, nothing's gained IG from this but fun.

Anyone can ask questions, so come back through the day to see more!

Friending List, the Days of Yore Edition!

[nookiepowered]

It's not exactly the same as when we were able to use the Admin Console for the Friending List but the amazing never_dull has brought us a holiday miracle all the same: mass-friending scripts for both Windows and Mac users!

If your journal is brand new to the friending list, you can go GO HERE, follow the updated instructions, and add all of the current game-related journals at once. (Up to LJ's 200-ish per day friending limit. To add the rest, just do the whole thing again at least 24 hours later.)

For everybody else, we have new characters to add, old ones to remove, a few to move around, and instructions on how to use one of the scripts to do that all at once!

Step 1: Copy the list behind the cut, paste it into the word processing program of your choice, and save it as a text file: whatever-you-want-to-call-it.txt

( Friending/Defriending December 2014 )

Step 2:

For Windows users: download this file. Some browsers will try to save it as a txt file, so after you've downloaded it, verify that it's named correctly by going to Control Panel -- Folder Options -- View, and unchecking "Hide extensions for known file types." If your filename is "Add and Remove Friends.vbs" then all is good. If it's "Add and Remove Friends.vbs.txt" then delete the .txt part.

For Mac users: download this file. (Make sure the filename is "Add and Remove Friends with Groups.app" )

Step 3: Double-click the file you just downloaded to run it.* The script will prompt you to choose the text file with your friending list in it, then it will ask for your journal name and password. (It won't save these or pass them on to anywhere but Livejournal.) Once that's done, it will add all of the friends on the list, up to Livejournal's daily limit, and when finished, will tell you which, if any, journals couldn't be added.

That's it, and poof, you're done!

[*If you're a Windows user and the file opens in Notepad instead of running, here's how to fix that: right-click on the "Add and Remove Friends.vbs" file and choose "Open With..." Check the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" then Browse to c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe and click Open, then OK. Now double-clicking the "Add and Remove Friends.vbs" file should run the script.]




As usual, if you have a question or you see anybody we need to add/shift/remove, let us know in the comments and we'll get that fixed up!
