Anyone who wants to delete their LiveJournal account but doesn't want to have to accept the new LJ Terms of Service to do so, there is a workaround that I stumbled upon through trial and error.

So give this a try and let me know if it works for you.

If you have the AdBlock extension on Google Chrome:

AdBlock > Options
Customize AdBlock
Manually edit your filters (click "Edit")

(copy & paste what's below into the text field)

livejournal.com##H3[class="flatblue-header"]
livejournal.com##HEADER[class="flatblue-head"]
livejournal.com##DIV[class="flatblue-body"]
livejournal.com##DIV[class="b-fader"]

(click "Save")

Now log in to your LiveJournal account and go here to delete it: http://www.livejournal.com/accountstatus/

You're welcome.

As the above person said, disabling javascript also works. I use Firefox with the add-on "NoScript" to make sure it's disabled, but I think a lot of browsers actually have an option to disable javascript it in the general settings. Once you've logged on, just click on the "account" link > account tab > status > change. There you can delete your account. It works.

I hate the way LJ have done this and their silence on the subject for anyone wanting clarification. Just as shady as the actual TOS...
