Ask your doctor if covfefe is right for you

I guess a lot of us are spending the weekend sad about how the AV Club we loved is wiped and gone. Kinja is hell, and you lied to us about how extreme the changes would be.

Rod Taylor from the one season wonder, Bearcats! (1971).

Sadly, I very much agree with your second paragraph. I stuck around to see if I could make this work, but I don’t see me sticking around for more than reading an O’Neal article (I really love his writing!)

Hey MicroFuckfaces...Maybe take 5 minutes to fix PowerPoint so when you start bullet points and then do a subbullet under a main bullet point then you want to go to the next line with a main bullet it is almost Goddamn Fucking impossible to change it back to a main bullet point.... It wants to continue a subbullet…

“Which is the problme;”

Finally! Everyone’s gone! NOW’S MY CHANCE TO SHINE!

No. I always liked imagining my co-workers referring to themselves as ‘J’ when ending correspondences.

That’s really, really well stated, MH.

It’s hard to find articles that keep moving. I didn’t see this article until just now.

Mobile users are generally not expected to comment much, which is why comment systems haven’t been optimized well for them. Might be a chicken and egg issue, but mostly mobile users don’t like spending too much time on a single page.

Yeah for me the big problem is: the AV Club used to be its own thing in its own corner of the galaxy. But now it just feels like any other extension of the Gizmodo tree, intertwining with io9 and Kotaku posts so much that I don’t know which site is which.

FWIW, I’m older than the hills, and the “oldie” thing was said with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

But isn’t part of the problem that the content on AVC has taken a huge nosedive since the “merger”?

I don’t know why we were so mad at Disqus, now. I think it did its job well- its notifications were timely and correctly let you know exactly whom liked that thing you wrote on that (Particular Named Thread on Topic).

Another member of the Commentariat made this suggestion, so I can’t take credit for it (he made the suggestion IRL, and is now climbing Mt Kilimanjaro so can’t make the post himself) but what if we were to link the commenting of articles... to Breitbart. Don’t they use disqus? And FFS... the absurdity of discussing…

I wonder how they’re doing for clicks since the events of the 23rd of August. Let’s face it, the comments are only about 2% of the readership - though of course, in the twilight of it all, it’s nice to think that a lot of that readership turned up for the comments.

Kinja sucks, I’m not gonna rehash its numerous flaws which have already been detailed ad nauseam by more eloquent commenters. But isn’t part of the problem that the content on AVC has taken a huge nosedive since the “merger”?

there are probably more comments, but we’re all still pending approval.

Holy shit, are we calling movies from the 90's “oldies” now? We aren’t too far from Star Wars on TCM then.
