Commenting on my own blog. How vain!
I couldn't help myself though. I'd love to talk more about this game! Anybody playing it currently? Anybody beat it and want to share some war stories? Anybody scared to play it and need some convincing? Lay it on me below!
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:

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.
Glad you're enjoying the follow feature! With those bigger sites, they get so much traffic already that they just don't know or care when a group shows up. Like I mentioned before, I never would've expected a mass migration from 1up to PixlBit, but I'm flattered that you all chose us. It's probably the greatest compliment I can imagine. Pair that with all of your amazing comments and I'm absolutely humbled. This is more than I could've ever hoped for :)
Thanks for the suggestion, Kay. As Jesse mentioned, we're compiling a list of all the ideas and we'll be brainstorming on how to get them all out the door in our own style.
Thank you so much! Nothing quite like bringing a baby home. My older son is 2, so it's been a while since we've been in the up-all-night-constant-feeding-and-attention mode, but we're settling back into it. Doesn't help having a big move coming up, but with family back in NY, it should make both my life and Chessa's life a little easier.
In any event, welcome and thanks for coming! We couldn't be happier you've decided to call PixlBit your new home!
Couldn't be happier to hear that and have you guys here. I love that we have a group of excited gamers here and that I can add all sorts of features to the site to make you guys happy.
I'm a programmer by trade and PixlBit has always been my passion project. It'll be fun to take on some new challenges for people who are truly excited about the outcome.
Thanks guys! I have a feeling that this weekend has been the start of great things to come. Can't wait to dive into the many blogs that have already been posted and into the ones that are still yet to come.
There have been so many community features we've dreamt of, but never had the properly sized community to implement. Now with all of you here, we can hopefully grow together and make this a tight knit community that works together to do some really awesome stuff!
Thanks Rangergirl! Before all this craziness of moving set in, I thankfully got a couple weeks off from work to spend with my wife and two boys. It was a much needed break after many months of long hours and juggling lots of ongoing projects.
One more week and my mind will be at ease and we'll be up in our new house. It'll definitely take some time to settle in, but I'll do my best to get back into the swing of things and help improve this place further.
Thanks so much for coming! I couldn't be happier to have all of you here. Never in a million years did I see 1up closing and you can add a million onto that number onto my expectation that users would migrate this way. Michael117 has been a great friend of the site and I know he really rallied the troops to come here. Among the staff he's our hero this weekend :).
Thanks Joaquim. I mentioned it on the chat one day, but tried not to make a big deal about it. It's causing all sorts of havoc at home for me and the past couple weeks have been unbelievably stressful, but we're managing to get through it all. One more week of pain and I hope life settles back into a comfortable groove.
