IF there was a blog called SoxMachine...

Run by someone who MIGHT be named Jim, what would you like to see changed/added/deleted from that site?

Inquiring minds want to know. Unless I imagined this whole thing.

I have never seen that many comments on a Jim thread.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Jim rarely solicits feedback. Good to see folks care a lot.

We’re a pack of a-holes.

sucks that you need to sign up to post comments there

I know, it prevents stupid “anonymous” posters, but still there are other solutions. Not sure if anyone has suggested it to him, but for the next site upgrade he should consider incorporating OpenID as authentication mechanism, as an option.

Next site will have OpenID, although I haven't tested it to see if it works yet

But I prefer registration. If they don’t want to take 10 seconds to create a username and password — I don’t even have an email verification step — then it’s highly likely that their comment isn’t going to be worth reading.

See: the comments at the bottom of every newspaper article.

I guess you are right

I can see bunch of “White sox ruleezzz!” comments or “you sux” crap coming on board and that wouldn’t be cool.

I guess you keep on doing what you are doing and we will continue on pretending that soxmachine.com is available domain name and can be used to start a cool white sox blog anytime.

Lupe, release the balloons!
