No more Basic Accounts

I'm on SUP's LiveJournal Advisory Board . Apparently SUP just killed the Basic ("Free") accounts. Before my commentary, some history of LJ account levels: When I started LiveJournal, there were two account levels: Free Account -- no ads, no cost, but minimal features. Paid Account -- no ads, costs money, get everything. The paid users, while minimal, paid enough to keep the site running, and brought in enough revenue to keep growing the site, and paid our salaries. The free users, while... read more

В 2004 году живой журнал был другим, стоит ли этому удивляться? Конечно, не стоит, всё течёт, всё меняется. Когда-то я сидел перед экраном и ждал, когда, наконец, закончит доставлять новую почту uucp. Потом, через какое-то время точно так же ждал, когда T-Mail закончит звонок, и я смогу почтить свою почту. Тут было неплохо. Куда лучше, чем во многих других местах. О причине того, что это последняя запись, я уже писал, но повторюсь: Базовые аккаунты Как мы уже сообщали в предыдущем объявлении...

I voted for LiveJournal Advisory Board today. I voted for jameth as my first choice. Several of my friends have asked me why I did this, stating that Jameth is an asshole, a troll, and other similar statements. I absolutely agree. LiveJournal is now controlled by a group of people who do not have some altruistic goal at heart. This isn't world saving, and it's not a particularly profitable venture if you don't do it right.

You may have noticed that livejournal is holding elections . The winner will be given a seat on the livejournal advisory board. Users may submit themselves as candidates by posting to the community lj_election_en . That post must get at least 100 comments of support from other users before the candidacy becomes official. The most interesting event so far? squeaky , founder and owner of insanejournal , has decided to run. On livejournal he is squeaky19 and his (very popular...

Letter to Livejournal and their suck lately. Add to it in the comments, I'll add them here, idc. I will probably make this public sometime or another. But whatever. This applies to probably 0.0005% of my f-list, so sorry this is clogging your f-lists up. It just really bothers me. :[ Dear Livejournal,      Well, where do I start? Last year, I fell in love with you. You simply rocked my socks. You were my haven for fandom and graphics; I don't think I've ever been happier in my life when I spent...
