Just wanted to update everybody on a technical change. We are going back to having everybody register and log-in to make comments. There is easy access to this on the top of the right sidebar, and you can stay logged in if you prefer.
Why are we going back to this? Mostly because we have such a good group of consistent, knowledgeable, passionate commenters that we want to feature, not dilute with garbage. Let me explain.
We have spammers and trolls that aren’t regular readers subtracting from our comments section with their comments. We hate to see this, because the comments our regular readers leave on a frequent basis are easily one of the strengths of the site. This is an attempt to do a better job moderating the comment threads, which will give more weight to those of you who chime in with A-grade stuff. Why should some douchebag troll have the same voice as Double D or xxxlp or SeanBCool, readers who constantly bring it with their comments? It will also make it easier for us to read the threads and use comments as inspirations for posts (you’ll see an example later today). We are also trying to keep the threads more positive and more focused on football (when they aren’t off-topic, i.e. Javon Walker or Kevin Costner being a Chiefs fan).
Thanks for understanding, and we think this will be an improvement after everybody gets used to it.

I am going to post our top 20-25 commentors tomorrow or the next. Let everyone know who are the workhorses are.
Man I don’t hate y’all. I even said I “value and appreciate the contributions” you two make to AA.
I’m just an asshole and I come across wrong to some people. My bad
I know I just was giving you a hard time. We tend to do that sometimes. If you’re a Chiefs fan you’re friend of mine.
Now a Donkeys, Faiders, Sparklers, Boys’ fan? Not so much….
I’m printing this and hanging it on my fridge now. lol Just kidding SBC
To be honest I didn’t even notice my name until my dad pointed it out to me. That was quite a shock, lol. I agree with this though, while sometimes it can be funny/cool to read a random/off topic thing, sometimes I’m just in the zone and want to talk straight football, know what I mean? By the way, just wanted to say thanks for keepin this great site up, it’s been my number one source for anything Chiefs related since I found it.
Thanks xxxlp. This is why we work hard to make this one of the best sites out there. Without you guys it wouldn’t be!
