Hmm...LJ Basic Account Babbling

[popkin16]

A couple of weeks ago, there was a big uproar about LJ disabling the option to create a basic account. I grew extremely worried, since I've invested quite a lot of time into this site (as the astonishingly high number of memories can prove). I don't/didn't want my account to be deleted. I don't want to loose all my friends, the communities I belong to, and my memories.

But I then learned they wouldn't be deleting basic accounts before March 12, 2008. I breathed a sigh of relief, and went on my way.

Then I was informed of plus accounts. If I had known they were free, I would have gotten a paid account in the beginning and just dealt with the advertisments.

So now I'm wondering - is it possible to move on to a plus account, without losing everything?

If so, I'm willing to deal with a few distracting, annoying advertisments if it means I don't have to worry my account will be deleted.

Note to self: Do some research. I know how to switch over, but will my memories & communites keep?

I remember reading that they won't delete Basic accounts. But I read some of the original posts where they made the announcement, and people were wondering how long it would be before they did delete them. It made me a little worried *Is sheepish*

I was hoping that if they did decide to do away completely with Basic accounts, they would give me the option of upgrading before wiping my account. It doesn't seem as though those who run LJ really care about the people who use their site.
