Cool, but I was asking about the comments on the Dec. '98 articles that sgentle linked to. I clicked through a few dozen and found no comments. The N64 vs. PlayStation post has a mod edit warning commenters to be civil and not turn it into a flamewar...and no comments. Were there really zero comments on these articles? Or did they use an older commenting system that wasn't archived, maybe?

P.S. been looking at a few things -- really impressed by slashdot. They seem to have fixed the rabid randian comment sections and actually have a good discourse. But the best thing? Actually deleting comments. http://imgur.com/TjC0wM8l.png http://imgur.com/TjC0wM8l.png
