    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:

    The parents are wasting the opportunity of a lifetime if they don't change his name to Lazarus.
    And, isn't that just a bit young to be into Goth?

    @DahlELama: I understand that the baby obtained a very large insurance policy just minutes before leaving the womb. Another example of why parents need to keep their fetuses off of the internet. Unbelievable.

    @lionboy: Oh, I was quoting from Monty Python's Dead Parrot skit. On a more serious note, I think there are cases where the living vs. dead distinction is fuzzy (e.g., in a coma on life support) -- but in this case the kid was obviously still breathing, so doctor FAIL.

    You have to a send a message to Hungary to report a Gawker technical problem these days, right Foster?

    Well, the site's fixed now, so it looks like the carrier pigeon made it across the Atlantic OK.

    Why turn the sound down? I assumed there would be a blaring William Tell Overture or something equally cheesy. No such thing. By muting it you miss a perfect comedic "WHUMP."
