The LJ/DW crossposting feature completely stopped working a few weeks ago, apparently. The DW owners tried to fix things with the LJ people, as they have done successfully in the past, but got no help from LJ. . .yet another hint that maybe LJ won't be around for long.
Actually it might be just the opposite. The ability to crosspost is basically a back door to the site. This might help them keep from getting shut down.
I hope so! But I'm confused (tech often baffles me, I'm afraid) — how would the loss of cross-posting help LJ from getting shut down? Or is it DW that will protected?
If you find yourself forced to restrict who can post by geographic ranges (for ... reasons) then crossposting gets users around that restriction without much trouble. It's likely to help keep LJ from having some avoidable issues.
