bend over and say ahhh...

Once again, LJ doesn't even bother to buy us flowers first. In fact, this time they didn't even ask our names...

EtA: I didn't trust 6Apart, and I now have even less reason to trust that SUP will honor the (remaining) ToS. I don't want to move to another service -- I want a stable platform to build from, not a hop-along. But if we get a good offer from somewhere that can handle a mass migration.... I'm game to join the caravan.

(in the meanwhile, updates will continue to appear on the Cosa Nostradamus blogspot)

EtA: 8 comments about this so far, 2 in the previous writing-related post. I hate all of you. :-P

Do you think they know enough to even be ashamed of themselves?

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

They honestly thought that LJ/SUP gave a shit about what the "Advisory Board" thinks?

I give it 6 months before my LJ is either forcebly upgraded or outright deleted for noncomplience.

So glad I got that perm InsaneJournal account.

[lagilman]

aren't they the ones who crashed in the last migration?

[eyemage.livejournal.com]

Does this mean folks like me will have to pay to post? I have an LJ, but I don't use it. I just registered so that I could post as a logged in user. *confuzzled icon*

It would appear that those of us with existing "Basic" accounts can continue, but it won't be possible to create a new "basic" account. All new accounts will either have to carry advertising, or be paid for.

For Firefox users, I recommend the AdBlock Plus plug-in -- it kills advertising quite effectively, and can be set up to remove adverts from LJ pages.

Thanks for the clarification.

Are they taking down all Basic accounts, or are they just no longer giving the option to new people when they join? ...goes to check if galadhir is still there. Oh yes; no new basic accounts, but the one I have is still there (for now.)

Wow, so I became an LJ user at the right time...jeez.

*sigh*

I love my community here and would hate to see anything happen to it.
