Another AVC refugee here, paging staff to un-gray Werdup.

Same. It said an account with my name already existed (the display name is right, it’s the actual username which is the issue).

I’m just waiting to reclaim my A.V. Club account (hmph)

If you’re stuck in the grays, a few of us are still commenting and commiserating at https://disqus.com/home/discussion/avclub/ltigtthe_av_clubltigt_is_switching_to_kinja_on_august_23/newest/

Dookie is legit, permanent un-gray here please.

Someone ungrayed my question. But all my other comments have been gray.

If you need to vent or experience the old flavor, and have a disqus account, there’s some stragglers trying to reach 10k posts here:

I had thought you had to be followed by someone from the AVC staff, but then someone said a recommend from a non-grey would do it... So far I still seem to be ethereal. Formless. Yet somehow still present. Like a fart. But not an SBD or anything too obvious.

We’re all grey down here!

How many more hobos do I have to kill before you guys take me seriously?

Engagement!

What is this now? A.V. Club on Kinja? can I get ungrayed or does my Disqus account carry over? So many questions. 3 at least.

I’m mostly just here to see if my kinja merge worked?

Yeah, it’s pretty damn terrible.

Yep, welcome to Kinja.

In fairness, the Gawkerization of AVC has been evident in content for a couple years.

Evidently so.

better for you

As an also long-term Kinja user, albeit one whose account got wiped out by this process, I can assure you that it’s at least as bad as everyone fears, probably worse.

In fact, this very Inventory is itself a revamp of one we did the last time The A.V. Club underwent a major redesign
