Your subject line? Pretty much my opinion. I was actually beginning to do so again, for prospective "what's this blogging lark" users it's nice and simple to use and the friends page is a great aggregator.

I'll get back to work on the gregarious/crossposting project shall I?

Heh. Yeah, as I've got a paid account, I can continue to use it, as most of the people I know use it, they can do so too. But it means that I'd have to stick a heavy warning about the ads to any friend I might suggest it to.

Edit: A quick check shows that you can still create a 'basic' community, or at least, I as a paid member can do so. But for how long?

There's also the issue of communities – will all new communities be ad supported too? If so, that's a fairly hefty count against them, as even if you ignore the fandom and RP groups that make vast numbers of new accounts, a lot of people will want to create communities and not have those communities plastered with ads.
