Since all of the posters here and probably most of the readers are amateur or professional blog commenters, I thought I'd highlight a new magazine geared towards the hobby/profession, Internet Commenter Weekly. Brought to us from the publishing minds of Holy Taco, here are the first two issues:
One thing about a new magazine, it's much easier to get them to publish your articles. In a couple of weeks, they'll be publishing my article that rapes, pillages, and burns Hit & Run's horrifically stultifying and almost certainly illegal "threaded comments" technology. Look for the article entitled, "Adnotatiunculae Bilicis Delenda Est" in the November 1st issue!
***Update***
An anagram for "threaded comments" is "Demon scathed term." Another is "Tamed demons retch." Yet another is "Damned tech rots me."

I have already canceled my subscription.
It was way better when CigarLover442 was editor...
You hate threaded comments too? I hate threaded comments! We should post comments about this somewhere.
Yeah, he ruled. This new guy, he's kind of geeky.
Naga,
I'm supposedly boycotting the threaded nonsense and appending all my comments with the phrase, Adnotatiunculae bilicis delenda est, but, as with most of my plots, my execution has proved less than consistent.
Shoulda thrown in a Carthago delenda est. HnR peeps aren't classics readers but they understand the concept of poisoning the well and sowing the ground with salt. ;)
Criminy. Okay, then simply point them here: "adnotatiunculae bilicis" is either bad or friggin' brilliant Latin for "threaded comments."
If they don't know "delenda est", they probably favor threaded comments, anyway.
My point was that "Carthage must be destroyed" is recognizable as is Carthago. Delende est in any form is not.
And don't give up on them, Pro Lib. No one likes threaded comments. No one.

We hates them, we hates them forever!
They're bad for a variety of reasons. First, it's a pain in the ass tracking replies to your comments. Or other people's replies to comments.
Second, you can reply, then someone else can intercede a reply, mucking up the narrative.
Finally, they take away the surrealistic beauty of the old system. Which, incidentally, allowed me to post with foreign characters, multiple links, pornographic names, etc. If this is the cure, I'd rather deal with a few extra spammers.
I have discovered a wonderful use for threaded comments. It is also a great reason for the general commenting community to call for banning them forever everywhere. I'll let you know when my project nears completion.
Good. I hope your plans bring down the web for a week. That'll teach them to inflict these technological abominations upon us! What's next, robot masters?
Highnumber,
You should name it "Operation Meth-Nazi"? Project Mayhem is kinda cliche. I want props if you use my idea though.
Pro Lib,
Settle down. An entire week? With no internet? You'll doom us all! Society will collapse, anarchy will reign!!!
Naga,
Why imagine something when the Internet can tell you how it will be?
SCREW THREADED COMMENTS!
That's right! Rebel against the Man! I am not a (comment) number; I'm a free man!
Perhaps those who oppose threaded comments around the world should come here to rally around our cause. Untold tens of people, uniting around their right to oppose the advent of the mechanization of humanity.
Adnotatiunculae bilicis delenda est.
It's part of an ongoing project. I think we're far past naming it.
♪ I'd like to build the world a blog
And furnish it with brains
Burn apple trees, kill honey bees and murder turtle doves
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to kill those threaded comments
and do it publicly. ♪
how about a catchy slogan, like "just say no to threaded comments"?
Don't thread on me.
And we have a revolutionary song.
btw, isn't that edweirdo on the first cover?
Could be. I think BP has all the secret photos.
It's possible that's Edweirdo. In his previous incarnation as Lefiti, he was a juggalo (ICP fan). Same shape and size, but if that's him, he quit listening to ICP.
Isn't that a David Lee Roth cover? "I'm Just a Juggalo"?
well.. it's like I knew!
