Oppose — Even if I am in the minority, I must say nay. This makes commenting less personal, and thus weakens this community.

The system of commenting isn't great, and I actually like this idea; it looks and sounds cool!

But I'm afraid I cannot support it. I know I am the lesser voice, but I still feel it is important to  say my part even if it comes to nothing: The current system of commenting allows for non-linear topic discussions, aka, you can reply to a comment. In the forum format I see here, you can't do that! If I want to make a comment to the post in general, I make a post! But if I want to post under a comment to tell a certain user something pertaining to what they were saying, this system will not allow it any more!

I like the current system for how it connects players and contributers, even if it does lead to some tension.

So my question: are we an informative association which is not meant to be personal, or are we a community sharing knowledge?
