  Will look into the menu issue. And that's a cool idea for the width preference, going to keep that in mind for future!

  Looking into this. On our old system there were two tiers: admins saw matching gravatars across multiple posts, users only saw them matching within each post. It appears we've lost that second tier - I see matching gravatars for your comments, but regular users don't. We'll get it fixed up.

  Commenting should work just fine without Javascript! (Though comment Previews currently do not)

  Aha, good thing I tested! I saw the issues in the comment preview as well - but upon submitting, the characters worked! We'll get the previews fixed up soon, but until then you can quote to your heart's desire

  Any character issues or line-break in existing comments and posts should hopefully be fixed sometime in the next 24 hours or less - there's a script working on cleaning those up. As for the subject line issue, thanks for the heads up, I'm looking into it (starting with some testing in the subject line of this comment!)

  That's the kind of thing that it will be much easier for us to make now, yeah. I have a few ideas for newer sidebar items but unread comments is a good possibility - we need a bit of time before we'll be ready to start working on new features, but we hope to do all kinds of cool stuff!

  Well, we needed a prolific commenter to use as a test case while working out the import hiccups :) Update: the comments ARE still there on the posts (or at least, the first few I checked are). Not sure why they are not appearing on your profile page, but we're on it.

  Hah - funny thing, yours was the account that initially made us notice a comment import bug, due to that exact gap. And we fixed it! And... apparently it has broken again. Sorry about that - looking into it now, the comments will be back soon!

  Re: Copymouse is 404!

  whoops! that list of prizes has been floating around since before the Teespring version got taken down, and we forgot to update it when pasting it for the new jam. Thanks for catching!

  Re: Oh wow, I am in both first and second funny places!

  I dunno, perhaps I was too hard on you David - in all honesty I forgot in the process of putting this together that it came from you, whose comments I usually think are very good. Perhaps I was defensive, because I think Cathy's post was excellent and it got a lot of awful comments trying to refute the premise. But no two ways about it: yours was a strange comment, and it was hard to tell what you were getting at.

  Yeah it's frustrating - in a lot of cases, some googling can still turn up the articles, as they haven't even been eliminated it's just that the site's URL structure has changed. We're very committed to keeping old links alive.

  Re:

  This is a key possibility in the game, in fact - throughout the game, the factions face various specific decisions and their members vote on them. One that The Hustle faces is whether to join a new industry coalition being created by an ex-MegaCorp executive - and they are tempted with the offer of access to valuable equipment and other assets. In the three games we ran, two of The Hustle teams rejected the offer, and one accepted it.
