If they shut off the comments I am really angry. I thought I was over this issue but I'm not. Fucking hell.

I'm over it, but only because I'm over Cracked and have been for years. The comments section has been dead for years, if it's gone it just means that Wong finally buried it.

If Wong finally pulled the trigger five years after the first wave of "I'LL DO IT, I SWEAR I'LL DO IT"s, good riddance. It's a damn shame, but as Sellers said, that place has been a shell of its former self for a long time. It also must mean the comment voting monetization thing didn't pay off anywhere near as much as it was supposed to, which I so love, and we might get another influx of new blood out of whichever commenters were still stubbornly clinging to it.

I logged into my account to test commenting (on my cell), it just keeps circling and doesn't show up in the section below. Probably just some temporary site problem?

It's just a bug; I asked about it on their forums. The fact that their comments section has gone down at the exact same time as their forum was being removed, thereby giving no place whatsoever to discuss articles, voice criticism or question policy, is nothing but an incredible coincidence. At least, that's the official story.

It's a bug until they get lazy enough to call it a feature.

It's fine. All the good commenters left a long time ago. The commenters who complain that they're always going to leave, just keep coming back to voice their discontent with the site's political views. Who needs that in their life?

cracked had political views? Let me take a guess here...

They were far enough left to say they were totally inclusive and diverse yet wanted to erase anyone who disagreed with them from the planet.

Sounds like a few churches I've been to, now that I've typed that.

Chaplin was also famous for playing a vagrant, so maybe it's supposed to mean that Wong was a poor (hardy-har-har) imitation of a dictator and thus wasn't all he was cracked up to be.

Wow, I inspired a debate.

No, the Dictator joke was just a jab about how he rules Cracked. To me, anyway, Wong comes off like he's about understanding and love but he's always seemed (in just my opinion) kind of full of himself.
