Currently, FAQ38 isn't very shiny related to the current unavailability of Basic Accounts. The first paragraph currently reads:

Yes, you can use LiveJournal for free. LiveJournal has five account types: Basic, Early Adopter, Plus, Paid, and Permanent. All LiveJournal accounts can use LiveJournal core features, such as posting entries and comments,

I am pretty sure that the users whose accounts were created before March 12, 2008 CAN revert back to Basics even if they had upgraded to Plus or Paid at some moment.

That was my understanding, too.

Yep, that's the way it works right now.

Users who currently have a Basic account (created before March 12, 2008) can select a Plus or Paid account level for access to premium features but they will not be permitted to revert back to Basic.

No, we can revert to Basic.

What about this then?

Accounts created after March 12, 2008 may only choose between Plus and Paid account levels. Users who currently have a Basic account can purchase a Paid Account (benefits) or upgrade to a Plus Account (benefits) for additional features. A feature comparison chart is available.

My mistake, then. Sure. I didn't have a basic to test it out.

This suggestion is outdated now, and I see that Marta has updated 38 in line with the more recent changes. I'm marking this resolved.
