They use ajax live commenting. AKA a more dynamic mechanism that merely pushes updates rather than re-rendering the whole thread. Or are you meaning something else? I would think, and have read elsewhere that AJAX used in such a way should reduce server load, but I'm not entirely sure how useful it would be for something like USSMariner. It works for digg.com though, so I'd think on this scale it should be fine. RE 49

Of course, names like Betancourt aren't in there by default...

However, that may be moot if Wordpress 2.0 is more performant anyway (I don't use it, so I have no idea). But this is really a mismatch of tech to task for the gamethreads anyway (which scream out for a more dynamic mechanism that merely pushes updates rather than re-rendering the whole thead).

You know, to take us back to the glory days of the Mariners. The M's haven't done too well in these gradient-heavy days of the Web 2.0 aesthetic.

Stick with the old theme.

The old theme isn’t WordPress 2.0+ friendly, unfortunately.
