Comment registration open! Update: Registration closed

posted at 8:00 am on June 9, 2009 by Ed Morrissey

It’s been months since the last open registration day, so we’re opening the books once again.  First read our Terms of Service, and if you agree, register through this link and follow the steps.  Be patient; we have to approve the first comment of each new registrant, so please don’t keep resubmitting when it doesn’t appear immediately.  We will eventually get them all.

Welcome to Hot Air!

Update: Had a bad link at first, but it’s fixed now!

Update II: It goes without saying that people who try trolling on their first comment will get banned right out of the gate, as well as previously banned commenters.  This is not an amnesty; it’s an opportunity to expand the community.  Dissent isn’t trolling — in fact, we love a good debate — and we know trolling when we see it.

Update (AP): It’s midnight on the east coast and the door is closed. Welcome, new registrants!

Blowback

Note from Hot Air management: This section is for comments from Hot Air's community of registered readers. Please don't assume that Hot Air management agrees with or otherwise endorses any particular comment just because we let it stand. A reminder: Anyone who fails to comply with our terms of use may lose their posting privilege.

Sapper.. there you go. And I hate Wiki so it is saying a lot if I post that.

Wow, I am very glad to be here. I promise not to troll, and hope Bill O’reilly will not take my comments out of context to slander this website.
Thanks!

I was just thinking about this the other day, but couldn’t find an image file to link.

“The Hot Air mascot was designed by Cox & Forkum.”

When they added the ads to the site, he went a bye-bye. I miss him too. :-(

To the noobs…just don’t make any, ANY negative remarks about Michelle Obama.

The powers that be will ban you.

Welcome back, getalife! I wonder what she’ll call herself this time?

Oh, was she banned? I haven’t posted in a while.

OmahaConservative on June 10, 2009 at 12:36 PM

Same. I’m glad I got a chance to register, there has been some discussion in the past I’d have really liked to weigh in on.

Stomper on June 10, 2009 at 12:42 PM

I haven’t seen my first post show up in this thread yet. Hopefully i haven’t been overlooked!

Rude on June 10, 2009 at 3:02 PM

Hi everyone. I’ve been a long time lurker and can’t wait to throw in my 2 cents! …. or under Obamanomics I guess it will be 2 trillion cents!

texgal on June 10, 2009 at 4:12 PM

what ever happened to Getalife? I miss all the good bannings. Oh, and DeathtoMediaHacks — at least that guy tried to debate every once in a while.

patriette on June 10, 2009 at 4:26 PM

Thanks for the opening. Nice to be here.

amanda on June 10, 2009 at 4:32 PM

How long does it take to get quoted on “The Factor”?

longfeet on June 10, 2009 at 5:59 PM

Finally, I’ve hacked this. Excellent! Took only 3 days. …Looking forward to conversing with you all.
