Migrating DTB reviews to the ATB

Will give it a go. May hold off as had plans for my upcoming 100th review.

That won't make a difference because all of the transferred reviews have their original publication date attached. So my thylacine review states that it was posted in 2016 even though the ATB did not exist yet. No matter how you cut it, your 100th review has already been written and published. I would still go ahead with your 100th and just put a blurb in it explaining that fact.

So, do you think we're safe to delete the duplicates from the DTB now?

[suspsy]

I already deleted mine.

[AnimalToyForum]

I already deleted mine.

Okay, thanks! I'll delete the others then. 

[sirenia]

Wait, delete them?!?

[sirenia]

Can I request mine be left on the DTB?

[sirenia]

Especially my giant moa. I bought and reviewed that specifically to be my 100th DTB review.

I realise it's a bit unfortunate that one of your animal reviews was your 100th, but I'd much rather have them all only on the Animal Toy Blog where they now belong. Maybe you can modify the moa review on the Animal Toy Blog? What will become your 100th review when the animal reviews get deleted from the DTB? Maybe you can edit that review accordingly.

FWIW, I'm going to be posting biweekly to the DTB all summer to make up for the four lost reviews.

I'm not sure, but it's more the fact that this isn't just a few reviews being moved for me, plus it's taking out a lot of my small pile of things I was gonna review on the DTB. Does also feel like this is happening without having my say. As for editing it, not really cus I did my shots for the 100th including the moa. It also messes up what I was planning for my upcoming 100th on the ATB.

I'm sorry to be a nuisance, but I would rather keep my extinct reviews on the DTB, and as the creator I'd like to have my say where they go.

@sirenia I've updated your migrated DTB reviews so the author is now 'Sirenia' (rather than 'Guest Reviews'). So, you can modify and edit them now. Let me know if I missed any.

I'm also looking again at the duplicate reviews by you on the DTB, which I want to remove. You're the only author who has duplicate reviews. I know there are reasons why you don't want this to happen but as time goes on those reviews become more and more out of place on the DTB. So, I think you should prepare yourself for them to be completely migrated eventually. Perhaps we can work out what your 100th review will be after the migration and edit that accordingly. Also, I would be happy to post a special announcement on the blog explaining the move to our readers, with links to your content at its new home.
