"Thank you for bringing up these additional points. The reason we did not mention them in the news post was because it doesn't affect users other than new users and News updates are for existing users. We did actually mention:
"Other changes you may have noticed are the logged-out homepage and registration process for new users."
To reiterate, existing Basic accounts are not going away or being changed. The creation of new Basic accounts is what is being stopped. In fact, one of the reasons contributing to going with Plus instead of Basic was that most users coming through the site were opting for Plus anyway. Additionally, what constitutes a Plus and Paid account will change for the better in the near future."
