We’ve had a few emails asking for better instructions on how to comment on the site, so we’ve written a short tutorial that we hope will help. Details after the jump.

As the Inside the Hall community continues to grow, it’s essential that we stay on top of moderation of comments. To this point, we’ve been fairly lenient on moderation of comments (and will continue to be), but there have been instances where we’ve had to step in. Effective immediately, you’ll be required to sign up for a username with Disqus in order to post comments. Those of you who are already registered will not be affected by this change. Those of you aren’t registered, head on over to Disqus and register. You’ll be asked to provide a valid email address and create a username and password. If you have any questions or run into problems during registration, please contact us at info@insidethehall.com.

Earlier this week, in our “Help us improve Inside the Hall” post, a good lot of you out there were clamoring for a message board or forum to get your Hoosier talk on. We’re still a bit hesitant to bust that out, so we think we’ve found the next best thing: a forum within the comments. This post — hopefully — will be the first one to have the new system called Disqus.

You’ll be able to respond to individual comments, make your own avatar and profile and rate other people’s comments. We’re excited about it. However, it’s largely an unknown beast to us, so we do apologize for any unforeseen mishaps. Take a peek around and see all it has to offer.

With that said: time to let it whirl. We’ll see how it goes and take it from there. Good luck out there, kids.

Sidenote: If you don’t want to register, you don’t have to. You can just keep posting comments as you always have.
