When we added the comment feature to the site, Dom suggested that we had a "slow motion train wreck" on our hands. Well what the hell good is a train wreck when it happens so slowly that you can't even see it? Damn. I can count the comments we've had on one hand.
I've heard tell that the current process is "too complicated", and that it's stopping you from getting your comment on. Hey, if J-Wil and Freddie can figure it out, that argument doesn't really hold up to much scrutiny. If you ask me, I think you're just shy and laboring under the illusion that a lot of people will see the dumb stuff you write. Well, let me set you straight on that one. While we may have had north of 39,000 visitors in the last year or so, in this series of tubes that we lovingly know as the internet, that barely constitutes a heartbeat. Hell, I'm sure Tractor's MySpace page gets more visits than that.
But, in an effort to coax you out of your shell, we've turned off the registration requirements for posting a comment, so now you no longer need to create an account to vent your spleen. You can even post anonymously if you're a total weenie. Don't worry, you can still man up and put your name (or someone else's) alongside your post, so everyone will still know how funny you are.
So, dust off your muse and get to commenting. It all adds to the rich texture of the site.
Oh, and BTW, all the comments are still moderated, so all those nasty things you want to say about South Shore still might not make it up on the site. As before, funny trumps angry every time.
Practice tonight (10/19) at Riverton School, South Shore away this weekend. Get some.
