Yeah, go ahead and shut down the comments, we will continue to comment here though :)

Yeah, I was wondering about "meta-sites", psychologically linked to places that don't have comments/discussions.

Maybe disassociating the comments and discussion from the original stimulus is a good idea?

Or maybe they are unable to index comments? I would think content (of any type) is key for these sites.

I don't think it's a good idea. I mean, the writer isn't working in a vacuum - their posted stories shouldn't either.

Ha ha, good point! Though, I have no intentions of shutting down comments. :)
