Commenting System Change
As much as I like the Disqus commenting system we’ve been using, it is annoying and confusing having two logins on this site. I have reverted to the integrated WordPress commenting system, which means you will only need to have one login if you want to preserve your identity (you can still comment anonymously). Unfortunately, that means deactivating the Disqus comments, meaning they won’t show up on the site. This is obviously not ideal, but those comments are not lost. They’re all still right here. New comments will obviously show up on the site. This link should be the correct RSS feed for any new comments (I think).
Sorry about the mess, but I think going forward this will be much easier.

CT Do we really need to go back and read our old comments anyway?
It’s not like anybody here is good enough to be a Deadspin commenter.
Bad Kermit One good thing is that we can respond to specific comments. So when I call you a turd for complaining, everyone knows it’s directed at you.
JD I just went to Deadspin and it’s different from the last time I went there. I don’t think it’s a relevant site anymore and I base that solely on the fact that I don’t go there anymore. The Big Lead blows ‘em outta the water. And I’m not just saying that because they linked to one of my stupid Jonny Dave things.
Slaky This is way better Kerm. Nice choice. Now I won’t be so frightened when I come here.
CT Wrong, the old way was better. The old way of everything is always better than the new way of anything. That’s why I shit in a chamber pot and drive a Model T to work. I keep it real.
Not like you Slaky, you’re a pathetic excuse for a hipster.
PenFoe I finally upload an avatar and you change the system.
I can’t help but feel like this entire redesign is just to spite me.
Jon Dagnabbit! Change terrifies me! Next thing you know they’ll have baseball at night! And let Canadians play!
Sloth so can I drag Kurt over here to discuss who’s right in how they feel how they feel and think how they think?
Mike D. Ditto. Only problem is, I had no fucking idea how to upload avatars at Disqus.
Disqus. What a stupid name anyway.
