Not a Good Sign.

LiveJournal has removed the option to create a free ad-free account. From now on you can only create an ad-supported or a paid account. "Justification" Here. Note that there still has not been an official announcement of this. I think they were hoping no one would notice. Cretins.

I've been resisting believing that LJ was going down hill, and had pretty much persuaded myself to get a paid account once I could afford it again. Now I'm seriously rethinking that. I may just have to find another site for my journal.
