We’re doing some DIY work behind the scenes this weekend, which unfortunately means that starting around 5:00 p.m. ET today (Friday), no new comments will be posted to the site. Hopefully, everything will be back to normal, and all the site upgrades will be in place, by Monday morning, though you will be prompted to reset your password when you next log in. Your patience is truly appreciated; we’re not exactly the world’s largest operation.
