Why?

Our old comment system was abused to leave racist, sexist, fradulent, or simply useless comments. We're hoping this verification step will improve the quality of our comments.

I don't have a Facebook account. I'd like to verify my identity using my MySpace/Google/Yahoo!/OpenID/SSN/주민등록번호/MasterCard.

Let us know. We're open to suggestions. Over the next few weeks, we'll be testing other authentication methods.

The FBI/CIA/TSA/CoS/Emmert is out to get me! I need to stay anonymous!

We're working on a way to allow this. If you have any ideas, email us.

I think this website is ugly.

It's going to be a work in progress all summer, so it may look and act differently from week to week. If you want to influence this process, email us. We read every email, and respond to most of them.
