There's also the fact that some normal people find the system easier. I have a few friends who love the option to talkback because they want to comment but aren't interested in the boards.

I know this isn't a thread for posting your favourite talk back comments but... I just have to post this gem. It's located in the CHAT ROOM talk back of all places which is why I love it so:

Devin Faraci -- In your article on Hellboy 2 director Del Toro, you repeatedly mis-spell the name of Hellboy creator Mike MIGNOLA not MINGOLA...please fix it before Mike see's and uses your name as a villian in BPRD.

I don't see the necessity of the Talkbacks at all. If you want to make a comment, register, join the boards and open yourself up to discussion. None of this hiding and baiting garbage.

I don't scroll anywhere NEAR the AICN TB's, because all they do is infuriate me. I mean the joke wears off after the trillionth "FIRSTTTTTT". I know I'm not breaking any new ground here, but I've always appreciated CHUD for being a little "Above" the TB idea.

Joblo.com has a talkback and it's just as useless.

Are people afraid we're going to close the boards or something?

I seriously doubt that. From my view it seems that most people are concerned that the Talkbacks will become a representation of "The People of Chud" instead of the Boards.

I don't care about representation really. It's a message board..it's really not that important. I do agree with Devin though. If you're going to use those talkbacks and insult the writers at least be funny, witty, insightful, etc. Anything else makes you come off as a petty, jealous hater for the most part.

Yeah, I'm sure you snicker and laugh while typing it and think to yourself "Man, I so pwned Devin!!!!!" after you hit submit but that's just because of the inflated sense of self-importance you have of yourself. I'm sure most of the writers don't really give a shit.

Just my .2 cents.

I actually haven't seen a lot of celebrity impersonators, unless you count the people pretending to be Devin's special lady friend. Or God, I guess he counts as a celeb.

Same here.

Well if anything is going to get those people to not do that shit it's making a message board thread telling them they're not funny and to stop, let me tell you.

Before you can post a talkback message, it goes through a Bayesian Devin filter.
