Am I a sellout because I didn't quit my job in protest when my company was sold? Or is it because I won't quit my job in protest now, because you don't like a commenting platform?

Here I thought we were being cleverly morbid by timing it to the eclipse; I even set the publishing time to match the totality.

The Kinja test site is just that: a barebones test site for staff to practice on. It's not the finished site.

You don't have to check the comments; like we said in the article, AVC legacy accounts are included. We'll have instructions in the very first post up after the switch.

Good suggestion, thanks. I put it in the post.

We'll miss you, Crow!

Oh. Try hurling some abuse!

As we said up top, if you sign up within the next month, you're automatically approved—no moderation from the author required. After that, commenters who have been approved can bring comments out of the grays, so you'll be doing your own moderation.

We've been responding to it for weeks. Believe me, it is very real. Try it!

Unfortunately, the process/links to do it won't actually work until after the site is live on Kinja. But the instructions will be the first thing posted.

I can just email my resume!

We told you right up top that the decision was made by the powers that be. But just because we didn't choose it doesn't mean we're lying about Kinja being a good publishing platform—at least as it pertains to the needs of us, the people who publish the things you comment on. It can be two things, etc.

We do care about you guys, which is why we made porting over all of your comments a priority, and why we made sure that none of you have to worry about being in the "grays." Comments and and commenters have accounted for 90% of our discussions with the Kinja team.

We are doing more TV Club Classic soon—starting this month, in fact!. Nathan, unfortunately, went his separate ways again.

Yeah, there's whole threads disappearing on my end too. It's possible that there are just too many comments for Disqus to handle.

"Light" O'Neal will tell you exactly: The transition is a huge pain in the ass. I don't like change anymore than you do, and I certainly don't like the amount of anxiety it's causing to our commenters.

Unfortunately, comments don't always translate to pageviews. We are being held to stricter budgetary standards now, it's true—just like any media company that wants to survive in 2017. So that means cutting things—like wrestling coverage, or recaps of other shows that not enough people are reading/watching—that cost

We review between 8-10 movies per week and between 5-8 albums. During the fall/spring TV season, we publish around 25-30 TV recaps per week; even during this relatively slow season, we published 20 in the past week. We've published five video games articles in the past week, Podmass and Comics Panel/Big Issues are

No one's saying you have to be grateful. We're just asking you to understand the limitations we've been asked to work with and, you know, not take it out on us.
