Oh, for the AC threads on option #2, the two threads could technically be with the same characters; I'm not looking to propose being that much of a stickler right out of the gate, heh. If and when it becomes an issue should option two be picked, then it'll be addressed if/when it needs to be.

The drops and hiatus comments aren't screened by default; I manually do those. For drops, I screen them as a way to flag them to myself to mean 'I have already removed this journal from the taken/housing/contact lists and all that jazz, and it needs no further action on my part'. For hiatuses, those are screened once the hiatus is over; it keeps the page from looking cluttered up when people are wanting to see who's on hiatus currently, not who was on hiatus four months ago.
