so, SUP aka the new people who are in charge of livejournal
posted about how sorry they were that
there's wank going on again. the people apparently got upset because
livejournal killed the basic accounts (free with no adds unlike the plus accounts) and forgot to mention. meanwhile
brad got pissed.
this really doesn't affect me much since i use the plus option anyway for the extra userpics and layouts, and the adds don't really bother me with the firefox add-ons, but i'm pretty happy with not having a paid account anymore.
