Search is nice. And the ability to jump back through your activity, yeah.

yeah, that's a good one too. Though I think it can be approached a few different ways. Is it marking what you've read? is it merely marking your place in a discussion? Is it focusing only on comments that are new that are responses to you or are responses in threads you've interacted with?

Yeah. He was great.

I'm going to be sad if the move kills gimmick accounts.

Ehhhh the Avocado has a different vibe. I never have been able to get into it as much. I'm going to miss the good ol' AVC.

I miss TV club classic. Alasdair's heroic reviewing spree to finish off Farscape reminded me how much I loved the feature.

I prefer the TI but I think it should probably move off proboards (if only so it can scale up a bit)

In my experience, the most important part of being able to keep up conversations in commenting/forums:

Harsh, man.

I manage a community for my company. The community product itself has some pretty major flaws. I know many of them are probably never going to be fixed because they won't move the needle on any of the company goals and hey, the product is good enough for what it exists for. (though tbh I am eternally grateful that I'm…

I've got the same question. I don't have a "real" disqus profile because I didn't want to have to become Dr.Livingstone#395 (and because I hate disqus)

I was in 8th grade when it came out. I saw it once with my mom, and then went back and saw it with my friends a few weeks later. And then I saw it a third time with my whole family in April. (That was the most excruciating viewing. The movie is damn long.)

Yeah. I'm now kind of wondering if it was maybe a panic attack? My sister could get like that when she was having one. On the one hand, that would make a lot of sense. On the other hand, I would feel awful for my response if that was the case.

The thing is, this is just so random? I mean, he HUNG UP ON ME.

I'm trying not to be a crazy person here, but: the dude I've been seeing with whom things have been official for about a month just got really weird and I don't know what my reaction should be, or what the heck just happened.

really? Not my experience. I guess it depends on "where in the sierras"

Pretty much.

More conservative, but not necessarily extremely so. The central coast isn't exactly densely populated, but neither is it uber conservative. Ditto the Sierras.

Jesus. I mean, you know slavery was an abomination and cruelty layered on cruelty, but sometimes you just get knocked sideways by some little detail that brings that all back home again. (The same with genocide. It's like you know it, you know what happened, and yet you're reading some little thing and suddenly the…

I know the point of alternate histories are about things other than history, but I find it harder to imagine the US creating a different country out of the defeated states rather than just doing basically the same but keeping them as states (especially since those would have helped preserve a Republican majority in…
