A couple of things I think would help us talk good, and do other stuff good too. LOL

Sorry to paraphrase Zoolander but it's after 3:00 pm and I'm well into my first pint of beer.

I'm poking around and I think there are a couple of things that would help us manage our conversations. If they are already here and I'm just blind let me know.

There does not appear to be a way for me to see the comments I've made in one place. Trust me, when we get going that becomes very important. I hate pulling a hit and run on other bloggers but I'm damned if this old brain can keep track of every comment I make.

Notifications when someone comments on my blogs, via email is good with me.

Some way of seeing when my friends have made new blogs. Latest comments isn't going to cut it on high traffic days.

a PM system.

yeah, they've already said they're working on this stuff, but it's going to take a little time.  They're kind of in a happy shock at all this, I think.  Not even 1up had a spot where you could look at all your comments, and that would be a nice feature (I don't think they did anyway).  What's cool is Pixlbit seems actually interested in our suggestions and comments, unlike other sites which just kind of don't care.

There is a spot on 1UP to see all your comments. :D

Choose the My Posts tab and then the My Comments tab. Hey I didn't find it for a couple of years. Very useful for remembering all my smart arse remarks.

I searched for this topic just in case someone had already addressed it.

I'd add something, but the point has already been made; keeping track of comments helps facilitate ongoing discussions.

Really dig the site and how well they're keeping up with user feedback. Having seen sites turn into haunted houses after their operators abandon them, this is a refreshing site.

These sound like solid suggestions. I'm going to do my best to get all of this stuff out the door as quickly as possible. This link isn't quite perfect, but hopefully it helps a bit in getting more comment visibility:

http://www.pixlbit.com/comments

From the front page under Recent Comments, if you click "More Comments >>" it goes there. Definitely not exactly what you need, but hopefully it works as a bit of a stop-gap until the new features are available.

Thanks Nick, I just found that. Being an IT guy I'm all about, "I wonder where this goes or I wonder what happens when I click this." :D

Thanks for listening. I know we're all in here inundating you with this stuff and I'll apologize. Just don't expect it to get better any time soon .

Watch out for that Blake guy, he's a real bossy bugger.

It would be nice to have a section that kept track of comments though I'm hesitant to suggest anything myself. Pixlbit has already worked so hard I don't want to keep demanding things. I'd end up feeling kind of guilty.

Still, sometimes it's better to be outspoken rather than being timid! I'm just glad we mostly all made it here,Peter!

Ben, get an avatar already. You can't run around being a generic block with a ? on it all your life now can you?

That's better. :)

Don't feel bad about asking for things. We want the site to work well for everyone and would rather you make requests than quietly stew about it until you leave. All suggestions are getting prioritized and considered. You guys have been very helpful and understanding. We appreciate it!

I have good feeling about this place, we can build something here.

I wish we could use emoticons because you know my comments are lame, and I like to stick my tounge out at you Pete. =P

Hey no emoticons no problem.

I agree, I've been going to the blogs section to keep up, but I want to have some sort of notification system; in my case, I'd prefer something closer to facebook comment notifications than e-mails, cause I get enough e-mail spam as it is, but I will be patient as Nick and co. work on it.

They've been doing great thus far, I'm sure they'll think of something.

Joe, I like the idea of having something more like the FB comment notifications myself, for the same reason you mention.

Peter, I'm just impressed with what they've gotten up for us in the short time we've been here! I set up my account late Thursday night, and no follow system. Friday night, lo and behold, a follow system was in place! Holy crap! And Nick with a new baby and getting ready to move, too.
