No more basic accounts

[sqbr]

To anyone who was thinking about signing up for a basic no-ads lj account....you can't. People who signed up before March 12 can keep them/switch to them, though. So the only free new lj accounts are the "Plus" ones with ads.

Thought people might like to know, it was hidden pretty well in the new policy statement and added to the FAQ without fanfare, I only found out off metafandom.

Well, they can still do that. I don't think Plus accounts are that bad from what I've seen, it's a fairly standard level of spammy adness for a website (compared to say a webcomic etc)

Not that that isn't an interesting point in general with sites with premium content etc (including lj). Hmm.
