    Pre-purge, my star applied to all of the Gawker Media Empire sites, and now that it's restored, I see that it's only good for Gawker itself. Oh well, time to dust off my lucky audition shoes... #comments

    Some feedback: I love the notification when your comment is replied to. I can't tell you how many times I've come across a great statement 3 or 4 days after it was posted and thought it was useless to reply since nobody would ever see it.

    I think this will definitely extend the lifetime of the comment threads on some great articles. #comments

    Hey! Hey, editors! Oh... have you been working out? Wow, yeah. It's just, uh, that shirt, it seems to fit.. really, uh, well. And is that a new haircut? It's so flattering! Also, has anyone ever told you how much you look like Brad Pitt? I mean, it's uncanny. Oh! I just remembered. You know my star? The one that makes me feel warm and special, even a little fuzzy, but in a good way? You know the one. Yellow, very pointy. Yeah! That one. You know, it's strange. I haven't seen it lately. I was wondering if it wandered over to you guys. It's always doing that, wandering, and you know, I get worried. So if you see it around, you know, could you tell it aLostLady misses it? I assume it wasn't viciously eaten by a coyote, right? So if you see it at the supermarket, or in the gym, just, you know, tell it I said hi, and it's welcome back anytime. #comments

    The fourth publication link from the left at the very top of the site looks like chicken scratch. I clicked on it and it gave me an error message and sent me to the Gawker home page. #comments

    Your tireless editors have always had a sort of love-hate relationship with the people who are kind enough to take the time to scrutinize our every move.

    We've learned from the best -- you guys. #comments

    I saw the Reply Notification box for about one second. I clicked on the wrong link, got the main post, but not the reply, and upon my return, the box was gone.

    This tag system seems best for Twitter users.

    Where did the profile button run off to? As it is, I have to track down a comment I already made, and then click on my username in order to arrive at my profile page. Seems a bit onerous, considering there was already a button. It was also nice having links to the various Gawker Media Sites arrayed along the top of the page, instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom. #comments

    @momo: I hope that Denton gets the tech people working on some sort of tag cloud, if tagging is going to add anything to the experience. Otherwise, it's just going to get tiresome, as people will come up with funny tags that are longer than most Gawker handles. #comments

    I know I'm only a sporadic, moany old bagpipe and a YOOropeen at that, but I wish this had happened 2 years ago, or even last year. Imagine! Ian's head would have exploded and after SNFF, you would have logged on and been greeted with '' You have 2,398 replies. ''
    And we would have had tags like:

    #IloveuMoebutsometimesmyarmsbendbackwards.........
    #lemonsquares
    #juliaallisonantichrist
    #tooinsidery
    #firesheila
    #gobacktojezebelfromwhenceyoucame.........
    #AmericanDreamer
    #FlirtinwithVirus
    #TinaFeyAlertAltmangetyourasstothis......... post

    Oh!What might have been. Now that my brain has dried up and I don't understand the new kids anymore, I'm reduced to standing in a dark corner and grinning sadly, while giving pats on the head to the snatched bits of conversation that make me smile/bewilder me/are good.

    I feel like Carl, in Up , only with no balloons and I never got to go to Paradise Falls. Except with, like a commenting system?

    This is really good whiskey.

    Can I say a couple of fucking things here? I mean, fuck! Really, fuck it!! Seriously, like, all of you gawkers and gawkerettes are really, really oh so hip to drop the fucking fuck bomb all the time. Especially the fucking writers here who don't seem to be fucking able in the fucking least to write a fucking paragraph without fucking inserting fuck, or fucked, or fucker, or fucking in it at least twice. Fuck away fucktards!

    Hey Gabe, remember me? You totally friended me and starred me in the halcyon days of the past summer. How's about giving me back a bright yellow star to accompany the bright red heart you see next to my name?

    I'll promise to post many witty comments about hot celebrities, and maybe even start the #gabeishung hashtag. Pretty please? I feel so naked and common without it. #comments
