So I finally got around to fixing a few issues with the new site design. The biggest change however is that I’ve installed the IntenseDebate commenting system, which in the future will be a standard part of WordPress. So I figured why not get ahead of the curve and start using it now?

It’s definitely an upgrade to the old comment system, especially with its threaded replies (something we’ve needed for a while). Also it imports all the old comments, so they’re all still there, but now when you make new comments things will be a little more dynamic.

Also I should note you don’t have to sign up with IntenseDebate to comment, but it will add more features to the whole commenting experience. If you leave a lot of comments it’s probably worth the time to sign up. Also Gravatars won’t stop working, but if you don’t have a Gravatar yet signing up at IntenseDebate will bypass that whole process.

So yeah, check it out… let me know if there are any bugs. Feel free to go nuts with test comments in this thread!

Hope this makes the site a little more enjoyable!

When viewing comments, the screen usually jumps to the bottom of the comments, rather than the top.
Also, YOU CAN'T STOP WOLF!

I just found out another awesome feature. Everyone, move your mouse over my gravatar to see him say our favorite Wolf quote!

Also it may just be me but whenever i type in the comment box it produces massive lag. Making it hard to be typo free.

Testing has revealed that when you post a comment using IntenseDebate you automatically vote yourself +1. If you use the old way you do not automatically vote for yourself (but you can vote on yourself).
I think the inability to down vote our own comments is an outrage!

We have user reputation scores now?
Now I can try and grow a giant epeen on halolz!!!
Actually if I get voted down to the negatives do I get an evagina?

I'm testing! Behold the comment of epic proportions! Actually, this is pretty small.

I think I prefered the speech bubbles more, but I'm willing to give it up for the new features. Like reporting. And replying to comments. Now THAT'S a life saver! Two thumbs up from me.

So, Shawn, now that you're my bitch, I require the title of Administrator, because it seems you need help mantaining the site...
Yes...

Oh yeah, I should probably make a new "no avatar" avatar. I'm assuming Wolf is the obvious choice again? :P

This isn't good for me. I can't sign up for ID because of the "-" in my name and I don't wanna change it, while it looks like I'll have to type my name and email everytime I want to comment. What to do....

Flashy comment system, hope to make the best out of it... and yes keep Wolf, believe it or not im still anticipating more Wolf Jokes in this site. How do i get a Gravatar?

Also, since i already started commenting, i have to say there is a obvious lack of Halo submissions, and therefore questionable as to keep calling the site "halolz". Maybe it should be sumting like, i dunno, VGlolz, or VGROFL, or ZOMGLOLROFLBBQ!!1! or sumting

Don't hate me for mah suggestions, if so, be gentle.
