Resurrecting an idea that's been suggested already...
This has already been suggested in a previous post here by tsukinofaerii, but I think it's worth bringing up again:
I'm curious how much of an impact would be made if we make an effort to urge everyone we come across who has a Plus account created before 12 March to switch their accounts to Basic. If it were widespread enough, it could have a twofold effect:
1. It takes away from LJ's revenues, since neither Basic users nor non-members will see the ads. (But then again, this could backfire and end up making LJ switch everyone to Plus...::gag::)
2. More importantly, depending on the number of Plus accounts that joined in, this could potentially skew the statistics in favor of Basic, showing LJ that hey, maybe there is a demand for Basic accounts after all.
Thoughts?
