Thank you again to everyone who has stuck with us as we adapt to the new commenting platform our site. We appreciate all of your feedback and we have shared all of your concerns with the Insticator team.
Throughout the entire month of September, Reality Tea and Insticator will be tracking the top commentators on the site. Ten winners will be selected, and given free T-shirts of their choice from the Reality Tea store. How can you win? Just keep posting comments! We’re looking for quality comments, and quantity. As long as your post meaningfully contributes to the conversation on the site, it will count towards your total in the contest.
Any racist, homophobic, sexist comments, or verbal abuse towards your fellow commentators or the writers will result in disqualifications and possible bans. So play nice out there, and we’ll announce the winners in the first week of October and contact

Longtime readers should take note that Disqus is ending Insticator sign-in support this Sunday, September 6. Insticator will still support log ins via Facebook, Twitter, Google, and other platforms.
There’s also a way to keep your Disqus comments associated with your new Insticator account. Anyone who has signed in to Instigator via Discus will receive an e-mail notification to create an Insticator account with the same credentials you had on Disqus. This will automatically map all your previous comments to your new user profile.
