By now, most of you are aware that leaving comments on this site is a royal fucking pain in the ass to the tenth power. There isn’t a day that goes by where we don’t get e-mails from readers complaining about the “You’re posting comments too fast” error message, and we just wanted to let you know that yes, we are aware of the problem. In fact, it should be fixed by this weekend. Chalk it up to our tremendous growth clashing with the shitty WordPress template that we launched on. As Marlo Stanfield would say, “it’s one of them good problems.” Anyway, once everything is working properly, we’ll let you know, and we hope that those of you who gave up trying to leave comments will re-emerge from the shadows of lurkery. Any blog lives and dies by its community of readers, the two-way exchange of information, etc., and you’re all very important to us. Thanks so much for your patience.

Speaking of our community of readers, we’re happy to announce that something else on our site which was previously plagued with bugs — our forums section — is now fully operational again. In the month-and-a-half or so when this thing was actually working, it was a great place to discuss news stories after they dropped off the front page, trade outlandish rumors, and post pics of Marisa Miller. Unless you’re already committed to being a retarded Sherdogger (boooooo!), please register and help us build the coolest MMA forum on the web.

Oh, and one more thing: Though it’s never been broken, our Wiki section is just not very well-traveled. So whenever you’re bored, please search for your favorite fighter’s page and add some info/photos/links, or correct any inaccuracies. We’re currently in the process of building that up as well, and one day we hope to make it the most complete and entertaining collection of fighter bios on any MMA site.

Thanks again for all your support…
