Basic accounts!??
What happened to the basic accounts? WHY ARE THEY GONE??? TAKE THEM BACK. WE <3 BASIC ACCOUNTS
From the FAQ's:"Basic Account is an option available to accounts which were created before March 12, 2008. No account created after this date can be turned into a Basic Account."
My friend wante to go back to LJ again and create a new account. THe name she wanted as free and all.. But if she's going to be here she needs to have a PLUS account, which she doesn't want. She hates ads. she was just a day late. damn. T_T
"Hi, I'm Jason Shellen, VP of Product Development for LiveJournal. I just wanted to clarify LiveJournal's stance before there is any further misunderstanding about what we are trying to do. An FAQ about the account levels was updated prior to our news post. It states:
"Basic Account is an option available to accounts which were created before March 12, 2008. No account created after this date can be turned into a Basic Account."
Existing users of Basic remain as is.
From a product perspective it was more about creating a new registration process that was easier for new users to understand. I'm sure it's been ages since many of you signed up for an account, but it was quite confusing and included a table of options that was not very inviting to new users.
For new users to the site, the options of either having an ad-supported journal or the option to pay $20 annually for more (2GB) photo storage, more userpics, and ad-controls seems like a much simpler and easy to understand work-flow. We are working hard to add even more features and are currently revisiting our ad-supported strategy to find ways to deliver more user value in a way that isn't crass.
I sincerely hope you will continue to give us a chance to respond to concerns and that we do hear what you have to say about LiveJournal."
You don't want it to be confusing??? Are you sure it's not because you get paid becasue you let people have ads on their journals?? And because poeple rather have a journal without ads to therefore It's easier for you to just force them to have ads. ..b., nujecfjjvg more complaints at the latests newsletter. (Also from where I took Jasons letter from)
I MEAN THEY DIDN'T EVEN TOLD US ABOUT THIS: THIS IS SUCH A THING THAT SHOULD BE ANNOUNCED IN THE NEWS! ! ! ! ! ! !
YEs, I'm fed up!
So just so you know. Livejournal is no longer a place where you can get a ad free journal for free.! ! !
