The LJ dorama
I welcome the deprecation of "free" LJ accounts. I always found it unfair and unsustainable how paying users subsidized unpaid users. As for Brad, being a former honcho gives him some insight points, but not too many. Look at Craig, does he blog about dumb people turning his website into something he does not like?

While I was surprised "Basic" held on as long as it did, and fully understand the desire to make every journal "pay" in one form or another, I do think that the management needs to actually think about who their userbase is before doing things like canceling the ability to create new Basic accounts without a public announcement to that effect well in advance. Especially when they've just made a big deal of creating an advisory committee to supposedly help them avoid such PR goofs.

Hopefully they don't force any ads onto my pages, regardless of who is viewing it.

My LJ account exists purely for the convenience of authenticated comments, both locally and on other sites that use OpenID. I'd be delighted if there weren't actually a "journal" attached to it, since I have no intention of ever using it.

That's a good point... But Pixy did it the same way. It must be saving them programming effort.
