The icon dilemma

[starsthatshine]

I have Basic account right now which allows the usage of six icons, which is awesome, but I really want to add at least one other icon but I can't delete anyone of those I have at present because I love them all. Then I'm faced with the possibility of having to convert to Plus level (since I can't afford a Paid account) but the problem is then that the Basic account status, which has now been more or less terminated by the LJ staff, will disappear forever.

What would you do? Change to Plus or stay Basic?

I really want a Twilight icon since I lack book fandoms being represented in my icon space (and I'm really excited about the movie to boot).

Hmm. I was under the impression that if you changed to plus after they changed it, you'd lose your Basic account but perhaps I'm in the wrong... I hope I am. Are you sure? ^^

Btw, I adore your icon. I srsly need more Zach icons. And Heroes in general. I saw a Sylar vid yesterday while I was supposed to be studying and I'm thinking about rewatching Heroes.

Check the news for the exact information. I am 99% sure I am right and other people I know have been going about it with the same assumption.

(you can never have enough Heroes/Zach icons ;))

Okies, although I can't find it (I'm one of those people who can't see the forest because of the trees, you know? I seriously can't find that entry that mentions the termination of the basic account status...)
