Maybe they could just finally film The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay?

James Gunn is back on Guardians. I just like saying that out loud once in a while.

Sure it is.  Remember?  We talked about it last week.  You’ve just been so forgetful lately.  You should lay down.  

No, the point being that people who had never used Kinja before would be better served if they familiarized themselves with some of the aspects that weren’t completely terrible. I had never used Disqus until last year and I hated it. It’s awful, but after a while I could use it reasonably well. I still don’t like it.

That is correct. It’s gonna be real bad.

Like I said, it’s been a combination of factors. The move to kinja prompted a lot of the old community to leave (for various reasons, which, as triohead points out, were specifically kinja-related). We know this because over the first several weeks of the change-over, plenty of them posted messages along the lines of,

But most of the veterans (commenters) left exactly when the Kinja switchover happened because it was a mess (no nesting, no pagination, constant reloads that sent you back to the beginning of a thread, login difficulties, problems with troll block/dismiss), because they had no way of integrating old accounts, because

OF COCK!

I saw the finest sites of my generation destroyed by Kinja

They did

And beyond the jokes and fun-having, the discussions were once actually VALUABLE. I say with no exaggeration that my mind has been changed multiple times on a subject because of a conversation on the AVClub. It was truly one of the more open discourses to be found on the net for a while.

It still can be, on occasion,

No, but only a fool would miss a chance to shit on Kinja.

I will say though that when Kinja was taking over the site and everyone was posting while they could in Disqus format.........and 3000 comments were posted in a 30 minute time frame was one of the most hilarious, sad, snarky, jubilant, bitchy, ebullient moments of AV Club history.

AV Club people should have started their own group blog when the change happened. Kinja is much easier to handle if you are writing and publishing with it. The editor is actually pretty nice. The way the articles look now is terrible, however, and needs to be changed back. No text blurb is just plain stupid and gives

I couldn’t agree more. As one of the longest standing members here that saw most of the longtime community drop The AV Club—primarily because of the Kinjapocalypse—one of my biggest pop culture disappointments is just how much this site went downhill during the Univision takeover in general, and still suffers to this

Can you change disappointing to horrifying?

Yeah, but we all knew it would suck, so it’s hard to call it disappointing when you have no expectations to being with.

Ooooooh... We’ve got a great comment section for you tonight. Give up for musical guest, Dawes! Dawes is in the house. Who else is here tonight? You guessed it, Frank Stallone!

But Paul was funny. He added to the humor, instead of killing it dead.
