Not only is it great for fostering the sense of community, it also weeds out: 1) anti-adrock2xander readers who pretend to be me ('Are you Indian?' is an example.) 2) anti-adrock2xander posts who flame and insult me but leave no traces of their particulars so they can hide behind their monitors and their tiny e-penises. This way no one can find out who they are. Of course, they do not realise the author of the posts have access to their emails. 3) all of the above. Brie:

Or something. I dunno, I'm not such a huge fan of having to login to comment. On the plus side, wow - maybe it's just because I've been using WP for ages - but it is <b>so</b> much better. It sucks that all the pictures are missing (hopefully we can recover them), but imagine not having to do that huge long process for future pics. Hurrah!

The registering for comments is a bit crap, at least having the option would be nice. Hopefully, we will be integrating OPENID with the comments so at least you won't have to remember a single site login/pw. On the positive side, posting comments is fast.

Also, the new layout is a little bit super-clean and looks too commercial, it's lost the messed-up "Metroblogs" feel!
