Top ‘Critics’ for June 2008

June was an interesting month around these parts. We’ve had some insane traffic as of late and a boost in our readership, including a bunch of new commentors.

We also switched to Disqus part of the way through the month, and that was a huge undertaking which has turned out awesome in my opinion.

The Trousered Ape told me at the beginning of June that he was going to destroy the previous record of 533 total comments, set by Cap’n Schwartz.

Well, that happened, but I’m not sure it was a demolition. Either way, posting over 500 comments in a month is pretty awesome and it certainly made June a heck of a lot more fun.

The Top Five

It’s hard to believe the Cap’n stumbled down to third, but I think the spanking from Ape must have discouraged him. That, or he had actual real work to do.

The Trousered Ape (593)
Princess Ana (189)
Cap’n Schwartz (176)
Richard (128)

  1. The Trousered Ape - 593 comments
    The rest of the top five - 595 comments
    The rest of the top fifteen - 236 comments

    Insane. The Ape could almost be two or three people and still win… Heck, he MIGHT be two or three people!

  2. Have you seen me? I'm pretty fat…lol

    I kid, I kid - I'm fluffy…

  3. Not sure why, but I'm still not coming up on Top Commentors.

  4. Congratz to Apester!!!… you made a mission to beat the goal, well done bud…. I'm guessing you wore the paint off the keyboard last month and its hard to discern any of the letters anymore?… {rolls up sleeves}, enjoy this month in top spot with 593 my friend… =D

    As far as falling to 3rd, without pointing out I was non-existent the 1st week and a half, I think its fair to say its pretty hard to beat royalty, and in fact are you sure Ana didnt win the month with her multiple peronalites she posted on? :P

  5. Well - congrats to me…

    Hey Cap'n (or anyone else) - this month and next month are yours since I'm wrapped up in some things through the middle of August. I'll be mostly on the sidelines with spot commenting here and there as time allows.

  6. Ape needs diet bananas?

  7. Thanks Cap'n :)

    I think I went through a couple of keyboards - Pop Critics is hard on my peripherals…

  8. Tru dat - double tru…

  9. {has a wierd visual thats hard to describe}

  10. We'll see If I can be in Ape mode for you this month…. I got your back bud… but dont go to far..
    FYI, thanks for 'giving us' this month hehe

  11. double-tru, lol

  12. Well, I only have the top 10 there now, I will expand it. You only have about 15-20 comments on Disqus so far, so that's the problem.

    If you go to our top link above, click on Comments, then the left tab…you should see yourself there.

  13. That's what she said

  14. Arent you paying the bribes like the rest of us?!? Thats how the rest of us are doing it…

  15. Spot commenting - sounds like something my dogs do when I forget to let them outside

  16. Not feeling the love from Disqus. ;-)

  17. LOL

  18. Bump…Set…Spike

  19. Damn…didn't get that memo! That's gonna seriously dig into my $14 a month career waymark income. ;-)

  20. Checks can be made out to The Trousered Ape - don't forget to sign it!

  21. Pop Critics hasn't been feeling the love from Scotty with his “spotty” commenting as of late :)

    Nice to have you back.

  22. You know, I'm funny a lot on here, and no one gives me points for it. I don't get it.

    Jina and Jason lead the pack with points, yet I'm stuck with like 11 or something.

    What the frak? :)

  23. I don't know what I will do without the Ape's constant opinions on all things pop-culture. July may end up being a completely unfulfilled month for me… personally.

    But whatever you have to do to find the diet bananas… I do want to be supportive.

  24. Because everyone doesn't share your sentiment.

  25. Thanks Jina.

    Diet Bananas - that's funny cap'n

  26. Zing

  27. and I should be talking…. lol

  28. no this one involves a 1000 sunrobbed goddesses standing on a golden pyramid throwing tiny little pickles at me… anyone else have that visual?

  29. Man thats like what…. a gallon of gas!!

  30. Issued my first point, right there!!!

  31. LOLOLOLOL! another point right there!!

  32. Someone throw the kid a bone…or a banana!

  33. He can't handle the banana…

  34. k I dont need a visual of him trying to handle the banana… move along, nothing to see here

  35. That's what…oh nevermind

  36. Alright, more important than the number of comments is the quality, right? Oh crap. I can't win that war either. :(

    But seriously…have you guys looked at Jason and Jina's karma compared to the rest of us? I would think they'd made some shady deal in a smoky backroom, but Mike would surely have smelled the cigar smoke and scotch on Jina, right?

  37. LOLOLOLOL!!!! Theres an earned point right there!

  38. You mean you guys aren't extremely good looking?! That was the reason I commented. Dang it!

  39. I pay with something other than money. Ranked #2 baby!

  40. Multiple personalities??? Huh? :)

  41. Who said that?!
