Welcome to Our New Host

We recently moved our site to a new host, and with it comes a couple of updates. You’re now again able to edit your comments after posting. You’re also now able to ignore certain commenters if you so choose. Just click the little “x” box next to their name. You’ll always have the option to unignore them in the future.

We’ll be testing new functionality as we go along. Some may work, some may not. If there’s something you’d like to see added to the site, leave us a comment and we’ll consider it.

We thank you for your patience and we’re glad you’ve stuck with us.

    Thank you, thank you for the new edit button. As a founding member of the Slow Thinkers of America I can say with authority that it will help preserve the future dignity of the English language as it exists on this web site.

  2. Glad to hear you’re back up and running! And like jay, I’m grateful to have the edit button back! We watched the MST3K Movie the other night, and we’re always happy to see Mike with his copy of _Satellite News_ (which in my book makes you obviously famous!). You’ve been around for a long time, and it’s comforting to know you’re still here! Thanks for everything! — Professor G.

    Good luck to Sampo and Erhardt.

    I’ve been at this site for years.

    Although he probably doesn’t remember me, I met Sampo on Prodigy many years ago.

    Thank you both for this wonderful website.

    LOL! That was the first thought that popped into my mind when I read the topic heading.

    Ignore certain commenters? Who would we possibly want to ignore? There can’t possibly be any commenters on this website that we would want to do that to! I mean, someone would have to constantly badmouth certain riffers on every riff release or something like that to be that bad, and I can tell you for sure that there’s nobody like that here!

    How about reinstating comment numbers like we had several years back.

    I tried, but that’s a functionality that currently doesn’t work. Sorry.

    Looks the same to me! Just kidding, the additions are great. There’s something I would like to see, not added, but subtracted, and that’s the personal attack type comments such as one over at the Captain Marvel thread. It’s one thing to criticize aspects of the show; it’s completely another thing to insult someone just because they don’t agree with you.

    Great! I hope to become a regular here again, as long as we can ignore certain commenters who may or may not have run this site into the ground.

    I’d like to see a return of the episode discussions and weekend topic discussions, if that’s possible and if others think it would be a good thing. Thanks to everyone who keeps the cogs turning and the whistles blowing for MST3K!!

    Here’s hoping Sampo will be up to adding Season 13 to the Episode Guide. It’s a lot of fun so far.
