No new accounts for me on eljay, even for RPGs.

Why?

Basic accounts can no longer be created.

In other words, you either have to face ads or you get a Paid account. Want to know what makes this worse?

They didn't announce it publicly. The only hint of it is in a comment to the news post.

Basically, that means that I am OUT of el-jay RPing unless I recycle an old journal because I sure as hell refuse to create a Plus account when it fucks over everything so much and when they PROMISED it would never happen.

iJay's got ads, yeah, but at least they're honest about it. This was x-posted from my iJay (fickle), which is a Permanent Account. I don't usually x-post but in this case, I definitely consider it worth it.

I WISH THEY'D ANNOUNCE THINGS.

WHAT THE SHIT. THIS IS HIGHLY INCONVENIENT.

I have a paid account so I'm not that fussed. My roleplay accounts are plus accounts, and I don't even notice there's ads there anyway. xD

I'm just more amused reading the crap that these things cause than I am bothered about what actually goes on.

Personally though, I can't work with IJ. xD Fair enough it has more icons (that I wouldn't use anyway) but the layout is so horrible. x_x LJ is prettier. :D <3
