I read the comments on the Standing Rock article, but I did read through some from the last few days and found that quite a few didn't load articles.

JamishT was a heck of a guy,
With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

I hate the new comments section format with the fire of a thousand suns.

When I click on the 'My Comments' tab under an article, it does show what I've written but I can't click to see any of the replies. Half of the time, if I try to scroll down to where any comments of mine might be on the 'Top' listing, it doesn't show up. The 'Recent' tab tends to crap out after a few 'Show More's. And almost no one's votes are actually tabulated correctly.

Whyyyyyyyyyy.

Because the mods (hah-as if), admins and contributors don't give a damn about comments. They don't think it "adds value" to the site.

According the the editors they view Cracked's comment section on par with youtube comments. And dismissed just as easily.

So they'll bring back the old ways when it suits them, aka when hell freezes over.

They don't know YouTube, if they think it's on par.

There lie unplumbed depths of depravity. Cracked comments are extremely tame by comparison.

Sooo....are there no new Cracked articles today?

Or are they just late?

DID I LOG IN TO MY ACCOUNT AT 9AM ON THE NOSE FOR NOTHING?





EDIT: Okay, so it looks like there are new articles, they're just at the top of the page and were shuffled underneath yesterday's articles for a while. Still strange, though.
