Announcing PJ Media’s New Registration System
Some exciting updates were implemented on PJMedia.com today.
As you know, PJMedia.com is a division of PJ Media, LLC. To make it easier for you to get the most out of your experience on all of our major websites — NextGeneration.TV, PJTV.com, PJMedia.com, and Instapundit.com — we are rolling out a network-wide platform that enables you to comment on all of these sites with just one registration.
This new registration system also will make commenting much easier and more enjoyable. Now, you register once and you’re done. You will not have to enter an email address and screen name every time you comment on a story.
You’ll also have the ability to interact more with fellow PJ Media readers as well as writers, and give a “thumbs up” to comments that are most interesting to you. New functionality will allow comments to be sorted by newest, oldest, or top rated, and the most popular comments will always be featured at the top of the comments section.
Your registration on PJMedia.com will also allow you to watch and comment on free PJTV and Next Generation TV videos.
Regrettably, we could not store the old comments and provide the new, improved commenting system at the same time. We made the choice to move ahead with the new features to keep improving the PJM user experience. We know there have been some outstanding user-generated essays in the past, so it’s hard to see those go, but we have faith that our readers will populate the comments section with amazing posts in the future.
How to Register on PJMedia.com
It only takes a minute to create an account on PJ Media.
To get started, simply click here. You’ll need to enter a valid email address.
Make sure to check your email and verify your account after you finish registering. You will not be able to comment until this is complete.
During the registration process, you will be asked to create a unique screen name. Pick something that represents your personality and perspective. You will have the option to upload a profile image, too. If you have ever had a registration or membership on PJTV, the system will remember that. So, if you’re getting error messages that your screen name is already in use, it’s likely because you already have a registration. Just sign in with the email address associated with that registration. If you need your password, you can have it emailed to you. (All of this can be done via the “sign in” button at the top of the page.)
After you register, you can easily update your email address, password, and newsletter preferences via the “My Account” section. To make it even easier for you, “VodkaPundit” walks you through the new registration process and new commenting section in this how-to video. Click here to watch the video now.
Thank you for reading PJ Media. We’re excited about these updates and look forward to reading your comments!
You may not think much of your readers, and dumping this on us with no warning does not indicate that you do. We will see. I do know that in a career as a Peace Officer, any time that someone from the Adminisphere was happily insisting that things had changed and that it was NEW! and EXCITING!; that we were well and truly scrod and life was about to become harder and more...

I do know that in a career as a Peace Officer, any time that someone from the Adminisphere was happily insisting that things had changed and that it was NEW! and EXCITING!; that we were well and truly scrod and life was about to become harder and more dangerous. You have not started well.

Just so you know, I've used their contact form at the bottom TWICE demanding my account be deleted before I posted that last comment. The account profile dialogue box has no option for deleting an account.
You are correct, none of the New Assholes That Be are reading this thread. I admit, I've spammed threads demanding a deletion, and I will continue to do so, but the only thing that has happened so far is my comments are reported for 'abuse', as if the abuse these assholes are throwing our way is not happening. I also guess there's a lot of sheeple here now because some are upset at what I've said. One jackass even suggested I just go away. I will, but only after my account is deleted.
I simply cannot believe that my account has not been cancelled to date. Really tells you all you... (show more)

I simply cannot believe that my account has not been cancelled to date. Really tells you all you need to know. They don't want our comments, don't read them, they just want page clicks; hell, they don't even read their 'contact us' submissions. Why have that fukcing option here at all, as useless as it is. They really are arrogant, incompetent f-cktards who've already ruined PJMedia.
Think about it: They can delete all the archived posts (about which there are numerous complaints on this thread), yet somehow they cannot seem to delete an existing account, nor have they contacted me (they obvisouly have my email addy). They. Don't. Care.
Seriously, that's why I'm fed up and will continue to spam threads demanding my account deletion. (show less)
In reference to RickMZ's comment a couple below this one. I note that I understand his feelings entirely, and am not attacking him for expressing them. However, it used to be that such language, however justified as this is, would have been moderated out of existence almost immediately. RickMZ's post has been up for over 12 hours.
We can therefore make a first order approximation:
There was some question as to whether the management of the PJ Media was hiding in their Führerbunker hoping to ride out the storm, or if they were just deliberately ignoring the comments despite the tag line on Hanscom's post:
"We’re excited about these updates and look forward to reading your comments!"

THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED. THEY ARE DELIBERATELY IGNORING EVERYTHING THAT WE SAY.
One can make a working assumption that with the exception of BELMONT CLUB where Wretchard is there and responding; that the rest of PJ Media's writers are also ignoring all comments unless there is sign of a response from them on the site.
Kinda like trying to communicate with the New York Times or MSNBC. And the resemblance may not be accidental.

2. Allow Editing of comments
3. Number the comments or number the left-margin comments prior to replies
4. Apply a one-time date-stamp rather than this silly perpetual count-up clock
5. Don't suck so much

I can feel my comment pleasure rising by the moment.
PJ Media may feel free to sublicense this comment.

I understand this site has become “click merchants” and clicking once on a VDH post and once again on the view as a single page = two clicks.
If I sit still for an hour and a half and read the post and comments, it doesn’t put any additional coin in PJ Media’s pocket. I get that, but this could have been done so much better even if old comments had to be memory holed, and the lack of responsiveness is a little shocking for site that pretends to want to be an ongoing concern.
