    In reply to Anarchy in the Machine: Welcome to Gawker's Open Forums
    I'm not very easily sold on change, but this is nothing short of excellent in ten different ways. My favorite, irreverent two: (1) this places a greater emphasis (and importance) on the fine art of tagging. Which is awesome. And (2) this is going (ideally) to move a lot of the insidery, old-school, overindulgent stuff off of posts and into tag forums. Where readers may put the "hack" in "hacking away" at us, and we can provoke them. On that note, you can find me here:

    This is going to be fun.


    I can see Denton, metaphorically over your shoulder, saying "Hmm, making a mess out of people's lives, nah, still tame. Marty Singer about to f up some children. Hmm, OK, that will get his name on the lawsuit but he's not famous enough on his own, no-one gives an s. Get Kate Gosselin too. "Sleazy", "awful"? Foster, what are you, a pussy? "child-exploiting Kate Gosselin". OK, now we're cooking. Go with that."

    @Jsmoke: Oh, no props needed. It's fairly stupid. I'm always waiting for the hammer to come down whenever I'm doing it the way I think I'm supposed to be doing it, so there's that, too. I'm lucky enough to have a boss who can occasionally roll with this kind of thing without canning me. See this tag for further reference:
