On Vox: Boycott the ole ELJay?
I don't know if I should. On the one hand, I think the whole 'no basic accounts' thing is the beginning of the end for LJ. I think it's just a matter of time before even older users are forced on plus. And once that happens, I'm out of here. So I'm wondering if I should jump ship early? On the other hand, I started on LJ and it's been my home for a long time. I can make my own layouts there, and use the LJ tools I'm so fond of, as well as all my friends still being on there.
Vox is a lot prettier. Although it's owned by Six Apart anyway and has ads on site, so maybe I'm just substituting one 'the man' for another. D=
What LJ should have done is kept basic accounts and upgraded 'plus' accounts to be so IRRESISTIBLY AWESOME that it would tempt even the most vehement ad-hater (me) into considering switching to plus-- As it was, it's never seemed worth it to me... albeit I was considering getting a paid account. But as it happens, thanks to the recent underhandedness of the bosses over at ELJAY, I really don't want to give them a dime. =\
What to do... what to do..
