#1: my per-user ignore button
#2: threaded & nested comment replies
#3: email notifications of replies
#4: the ability for us to upvote and downvote each other for Lord of the Flies-like internet points
Although I can think how a lot of our commenters would overuse every single one of those functions and hammer your servers till they squeaked as if they'd been struck by lightning on a non-UPS single-striped drive without a backup.
you are running RAID 5 with 8 TB drives like most people, right?
@3, Facebook in Asia = 192 million users; the new Friendster, which is a gaming platform and not a straightforward social-networking site, = 0.5 million.
As usual you couldn't be more wrong if you showed up at a party covered from head to toe in human excrement.
Whether it's 500,000 or $16 million, if you ignore the pump and dump inflation from the period with the vulture capitalists, that a cistern full of cash for something that is just a web database with some ajax controls.
With today's tools like JQuery, it could be written in a week and hosted on a cloud backend like Amazon.
Far from being a repudiation of social media, it is a sign of the incredible revenue value that is available...
#13, in case you didn't figure it out, it will nest the comment under both. The first instance will be visible and the subsequent ones will be collapsed but expandable. Just watch for collapsed comments with "The comment above is nested elsewhere" that aren't on the root level. That means they replied to multiple posts and it's probably worth expanding again for context.
There are, of course, false positives like Joe's list. But in a year of reading Slog like this, it hasn't bothered me.
For small businesses: Hardware RAID can bite really really badly. If Raid card dies in certain ways: the resulting. RAIG (redundant array of inexpensive garbage) is unpleasant.
If you can afford the space I'm a bigger fan of software RAID 1 or, if the speed isn't too big an issue, Software RAID 5. In either case any old PC will do in a pinch if enough disks are intact. In Raid 1 case: that's 1
...and of course a decade of SLOG comments are small enough to fit on a thumb drive in any case.
Friendster ftw! (1)
(1) = based on Asian usage as a metric for worldwide adoption, not US usage, duh.

Google redesigned their Chrome store pages and totally ruined my screenshot, but you get the idea.
The GreaseMonkey version has commenter filtering, though I haven't tested it with recent versions of Firefox.
I can't believe I ever read Slog with flat comments.

(Sorry, @1 - I referenced you here just to see what the plug-in does does with multiple references.)

Geeking Out for a minute:
