I know hiring processes can take forever, but it's been nearly a month. This isn't like looking for the Bearer of the One Ring here. Surely you guys have come across at least ONE qualified, suitable editor who could at least post daily news items on a more than tri-daily basis? 

FFF is just an easy way to slowly corrode your soul, I don't care if it comes back or not. So, when will the new editor arrive?

I really hope we get a new editor soon. This site is just stuck in limbo without one...and I hope whoever takes over will be brave enough to give FFF a try, too, considering it didn't work out over at io9.

I don't wanna go, TR exposed me to so much fun and filth, but if something doesn't change soon I may just have to run for the hills. Or open up a top 8 spot anyway. 

I'll take the job! I'll work free! Well, not free. But cheap! Cheaper than Rob! Can I have some money?

This is breaking my heart, but this is just not the same any more. Still no new editor, after all this time? Hardly any new updates or original content? I don't understand. We're a fickle bunch, if you don't amuse/entertain us, we wander off and find something else that will. I cant keep coming back here and reading dry reports of days old news. The Poe Ghostal Toy Aisle Trolling feature was a nice touch, but there's nothing else even remotely in the spirit of it since Rob left. These are sad times indeed

Are you guys accepting resumes for a new editor?

After much soul-searching and many discussions with my spiritual leader, Tom Cruise, I hereby accept the editorship of Topless Robot. You bitches are working for ME, now, and there WILL be changes.

First up: Topless Robot is officially offering a bounty on Michael Bay's smirk. The first Topless Roboteer that brings me his twisted, smug, self-ass-kissing lips on a silver platter gets not one, but TWO t-shirts. And the eternal thanks of anyone born within the last 35 years who has a brain and good taste.

Secondly, I know you guys miss Rob. Well, I'm pleased to say that I've obtained a sample of his DNA (I can't tell you what the sample is...okay, it's a clump of back hair) and TR's janitorial services will be run entirely by BOB Bricken, his clone. Bob's currently reading at a 5th grade level, which is odd since I never authorized anyone to teach him to read. I have great hopes that Bob can finally remove whatever the hell that smell is in the bathroom on the second floor.

Third and last: I've been receiving emails regarding instituting a "Slave Leia Fridays" instead of the beloved FFF. Worry not; there is no way in hell I'd deprive you guys of transsexual Lorax love or girl wonder stories by making you watch various hotties make out in gold bikinis. We're keeping the traditions of the past that made TR #59 in the Webby rankings for the category of "Websites For People Who Collect Dolls."

My door is always open, friends. Excelsior!

This post was 9 days ago and there still isn't a replacement editor. I think I'm done with this website.

Just a random thought...is there a reason why no replacement was found BEFORE Rob left? 

Embedded images don't work for any comments revealed by the "Show More Comments" button?

I just noticed that the only embedded images I get in this comment section are in replies that are automatically showing.  Anything that I have to hit "Show More Comments" to see just has a clickable link, with no embedded image.

@kspidel another issue, when I get an email that someone has responded to a comment, the link only brings me to the page, not the actual comment. 

1. You have my thanks for the improvements. Yes, it was BUMPY. No, we won't forgive you for it, but we'll thank you for stepping up and fixing what was clearly broken. 

2. Hire me. I could do it, if I could do it from home here in ████████.

Hooray for edit!  Thank you. And hooray for bold et al.

Things I would still like to see:

1. The old comments restored.  Having Rob post links to all the old articles was great, but seeing most of the comments gone was depressing.  It begs the question: why contribute to a site, if at any moment everything you write could be erased.  I try to live in the moment, but the past is important too.

2. Sorting.  Thanks for fixing it so that viewing Newest or Oldest works fine and both update with new comments.  Being able to sort for "Most Popular" was handy, and it would be nice to have the option to view ALL comments, not have to click, load, click, load, click, load, and do it all again later if you're looking for a specific comment.

I realize that's probably a bandwidth thing, but it's also important for contests and conversations, so you can see if someone else has already posted the exact same thought.  It doesn't have to default on, but the ability to do it when needed would be very useful.

so far the thing seems to be less trouble then the last version . and take as much time as you guys need for robs shoes are a hard one to fill.

You mean I'm still in the running? HUZZAH!

Well, ask and ya shall receive, mothafucka... Thank you very much!

I miss my mountain of likes.

Dear Voice Media Group,

I hope you're well.  I just thought I'd post a little message to let you know about two cool little-known items of technology that I think might help you make stacks of cash.

1. Disqus - sounds bizarre, I know, but this tiny little company has created a comments system that, while humble, is actually pretty good, and is getting quite popular, so I've heard.  Anyway, you might want to check them out, if not to use them, then maybe to get an idea of the right way to do it. 

2. Apparently mobile devices are pretty popular these days.  There's this weird thing called 'Android' and this even weirder thing called 'Apple' that lets people look at cool blogs on devices smaller than a small room.  Many of those people probably want to comment on those blogs from those strange devices, so maybe look into sorting that out.  

All the best,

A shaven Snarf in a bondage outfit. 

No idea if this will wind up double posting, but here goes:I miss Rob, and hope whomever comes in will try as hard as he always did.The comments idiocy needs to stop-I DON'T want to be forced into signing up for an account, and it hardly ever actually posts my comments when i try to enter as a guest! Grrr, pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth.

What is Voice nation anyway?

Mobile still sucks. And now I can't even see any comments because they're too big. Bravo.

Applications, you say....

So it says Edit (5 minutes). Am I to assume you can only edit for the five minutes following the post? Let's find out.

My name is NeoWedgieAntilles,... and I approve of this message [system]

1. well done, MVN team.
2. I'm going to echo comments in requesting that comments be listed from oldest to newest.
3. I too would like a Like counter like Disqus has.
4. Strikethrough would be a bonus.
5. The ultimate feature would be to REBUILD THE OLD COMMENTS FROM BEFORE MVN DAYS. I fully realize this is next to impossible but that would be the bestest.
