Comments
The other day Mac (you know, the one whose name isn’t “Beth”) emailed me and said:
I’ve noticed one thing.
You sure get the trackbacks, but not the commenters.
NO CRAP. What the fark is up with that? Are y’all just into the inline trackbacks or something? I’ve got maybe ten regular commenters here, and almost nobody interacts with the other commenters. I don’t get it. I mean I’d hate it if the threads started looking like LGF comment threads, but damn! Do y’all not comment because I’m we’re so right about everything that you have nothing to say? :mrgreen:
(Sidenote: I finally got registered to comment there! w00t! I caught registration being open!)
Feisty says:
I have nothing in particular to say, but it seemed wrong not leaving a comment on a post bitching about no comments. Love ya Beth!!!!!
Vinnie says:
Of course his name isn’t Beth, it’s JoBeth.
MacStansbury says:
Tex is….
oh, rats…habbit…
Vinnie is gay
(look for MacStansbury to be banned at LGF any minute now)
Maureen says:
Ok, this is like try #5 because apparently I can’t read the authorization code.
But anyway, yes, you are always right and I just silently agree with you because I really have nothing to add. But I can hit you with some “AMENS!” everytime if you want. But only if JoBeth lets me borrow some of his Jimmy Choos.
MacStansbury says:
OH FOR THE LOVE OF SENSIBLE SHOES!!!!!!
can we JUST give the JoBeth thing a rest?!? I work for years to build a name….and not JoBeth….ugh…
a4g says:
The only problem with registration on LGF, after you get past the YES! moment, is that there’s always like 70000 comments when you go by, and who wants to drop in that late in the party?
As far as things go here– no comments just means you didn’t leave anything unsaid. (at least that’s what I keep telling myself…)
Hardcore Conservative says:
HEY!!!!
I comment!!!!!!
Jay says:
Yay! Now you can pimp your blog over there with me! This is 5th attempt to do this stupid code for a comment, now wonder you don’t get any comments.
Holly - A Soldiers Angel says:
first try….
Well - you jerk. I just checked yesterday for open registration. Sigh - I’ve got bad timing I guess. Gonna go sit with my mouse on the ‘refresh’ button…lol.
Oh - and you’re the pot…I’m the kettle…gonna go see right now if I’ve commented on your blog more than you have on mine! LOL…running to hide now…
Jeff H says:
Hey, I’m just too busy…well…being lazy, OK? I still read frequently. But I think this is something blogosphere-wide; my traffic has practically doubled over the past couple months, but my comments have gone down, too.
Jeff H says:
Oh, and I think Maureen’s onto something–the auth codes here are routinely unreadable; I screw it up probably half the time.
Beth says:
Sorry about the auth codes…hate the spammers, it’s their fault. This is the best captcha program out there. What can I say?
HEY!!! HC! I know you comment! (You’re one of the handful of regulars I excepted from my whine.) ;-)
Holly, I even posted this before I added more to it (see the next post for what I was going to add–I knew it would take a while) so y’all might be able to get there in time. It’s a total crapshoot. I’ve been obsessively going there lately just to see if the damn registration was open!

sadie says:
Vinnie is GAY? Things are starting to make more sense now.
We’re all lurkers, baby. ;-)
Vinnie says:
Sorry, as much as JoBeth pines for my nether regions, I am not gay. I have a blogging wife to prove it.

[...] Heh! This is funny! Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy wonders why she doesn’t get any comments. It took me five tries to get that stupid authorization code to leave her one. Theres your answer. She also wants to know if you would confirm this man for Supreme Court Justice. Bad Example has a cat guarding their blog. [...]
Leanne says:
I just commented, and your damn code requestor ATE it. Bastage. Maybe that’s part of the reason you don’t get more comments? We’re too lazy (or forgetful?) to retype what we just said.
I think I said something like “I comment once in a while because I have to, but most of the time I’d loook like a maroon compared to you so I keep my keyboard shut.” Then I think I also added something like maybe if you left more comments you’d get more? (nudge, gaffaw)
:razz:
P.S. THIRD time the damn thing ate my comment. I copied it just in case.. phew.
William Teach says:
It’s cause you are usually right, Beth. (funny how the code for this was “ABET.”
Jeff H says:
Hey, I resent that comment about “we’re all lurkers”.
I’m a stalker, dammit–much more active than you couch potato “lurkers”.
