I may have to change instances on this thing. The idea behind instance whitelisting was very good, but I don't think they can keep up with the sheer number of them, and I've already got some people I know that I can't follow here because of it.

It's not a BAD idea, but I'm not going to fragment my friend list.

@SomeEgrets Yeah, I know the feeling. Perhaps it will just turn into a blacklist?

@XerTheSquirrel I mean, maybe. But the whole idea behind this thing was that it was whitelist-based. So I'm not going to hold out for that unless someone specifically says they'll do it.

I probably won't look around today or anything (too tired anyway), but chances are, I'll end up moving. There are lots of options out there at least, though.

And I sort-of know a mod on one, so I know they're run by good people.
