The Commies
Each week, our commenters blab and blab and blab. We used to reward them arbitrarily with a night in our Gold Star Motel. But that was just to get them to shut up. Who will listen to them? Who will care? Not us! But we know who cares: Crazed uber-commenter LolCait cares! That's right, we've set our chattiest commenter to the task of tracking the best of commenting each week. Boy, we feel for whoever's paying LolCait's paycheck at the day job. More »

Every week, we single out some commenters who made a special effort. If we didn't pick you, you've been doing something horribly wrong.

He's Just Not That Far Into You
This time each week, we coo and kvell
O'er comments that made us LOL
That's self-indulgent? Yeah, you bet!
But face it: so's the Internet.

'New York Times' Commenters Are A Surly Bunch
What sort of person reads the New York Times? The comments section from a post about this morning's commuting issues on the paper's City Room blog might provide a clue. Since the Times doesn't seem to do it, we've gone ahead and picked out Gold Star recipients from the wealth of worthy insights the paper's readership provides. Enjoy!
Its a good thing we've spent all that money after 9/11 to fix up the communication system on the subways.Nobody at Atlantic Ave. knew what was being said.Were they speaking Chinese,its a joke !Oh,yes, plenty more where that came from. More »

Dude Better Take Those Spring Break Pics Off His Facebook
This was such a magical week for comments, you guys. Seriously! (A circle jerk of hilarity amid the vituperation!) We sometimes found ourselves laughing so hard we cried. Laughing and crying, you know, it's the same release. More »

Crumple Face Cry
This week was a banner week for excellence in commenting. In addition to the commenters listed below, we'd like to extend a special honorary group gold star to everyone who commented on that 'singlefiers' post, except Thomas Pynchon, who can go eat the four week old lite cottage cheese from a single lady's fridge.

Oh, The Onanity
Each week, we celebrate some commenters, because we mistakenly think that commenting isn't its own reward. (Actually, it so is!) This week, I'm giving out awards! Not cash awards. But made-up awards, like the Nobel prize or a Nebula or a Hugo or something. Wait, first I'm going to make a pot of coffee. Okay, back! Let's do it! More »

The Winter Of Her Discount Bin
Every week, we pick some comments that made us LOL or in some cases "heh"OL and post them here so everyone can enjoy. This week was extra funny because of the new moon on Saturday that's stimulating everyone's pineal gland. Our bodies are mostly water!Re:Tina Brown Last Night Among The People

The Sort Of Stuff I Like To Look At
Every week we single some commenters out for approbation. This week, because we're feeling extra nice (also: loopy! and tired), we're explaining the "reasoning" behind our decisions. More »

Each week, we pick out some comments that especially amused us and award them a meaningless prize. You know why? Because we're mad with power. Or because we're hoping some commenters will totally date us. More »

Each week, we pick out some comments that especially amused us and award them a meaningless prize. Sometimes these comments were made by the same people we just redundancied. There's a lesson there, but we have no idea what it is. More »

People Shouldn't Die
Each week, a handful of reader comments are selected for inclusion and veneration in the Gold Star Motel. Standards of excellence are arbitrary, fluid, and contradictory. The reward is strictly honorary (at best). This week, all the Gold Stars are taken from the post where we asked for your editorial ideas. Will this be the last Gold Star Motel? More »

The reward is strictly honorary (at best).
