Well, holy crap. Apparently LJ got sold to Russian overlords (several months ago!), and the forced marches into capitalism have begun. Article hereOne of my LJ friends has opted to leave for InsaneJournal -- easy enough, I suppose, until I think about trying to migrate six years' worth of posts

I was under the impression that they had already reversed the decision to eliminate the basic accounts.

They've restored the censored search terms, but I haven't heard anything about reversing the decision on basic accounts.

You're right. I think I was conflating the two issues. I can't find anything now on reversing the basic accounts decision.

One more factor pushing me toward Wordpress...

Backing up your posts is actually pretty easy. There's a program called LJ archive that'll do it in minutes. There's even a way to transfer them to IJ, but I haven't done the research on that yet...
