In 2004, a crack car commando unit escaped auto sites they didn't enjoy. Today, still obsessed with the cult of cars, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you've a problem with the site, if no one can help, and if you can find them, maybe you'll get the help of ... Team Jalopnik.

If you go to your profile, there should be three links next to your name. Click on Settings and you can choose default viewing method (Featured only or all) and the display order. Hallelujah! #cotomersevis

But lately work has made me scarce around these parts and I am from the land down under, where the beer does flow and the men chunder (vomit). Time difference is a bitch. #cotomersevis

All that aside, the new updates are great!
Notifications, that's gonna save a lot of extra clicking around. It'll make my Jalop-time much more efficient.
Twitter style tagging, honestly I love it. Working as proposed I can see incredible potential there. After experiencing how that works I'm actually considering Facebook and Twitter... and that's saying something.
Forum pages where we're free to talk and discuss whatever we want... Maybe somebody was reading all those complaints after all.
The tips tag... it's already been used and we've already seen the results in the content. It's like this went from Coffee Talk (I'll give you a taaaw-pic...discuss.) to community.
Ray, I know you didn't put this all together your self. But you've obviously fought hard for what your readers wanted. You, the Jalopnik staff, and the Gawker hamsters have done a great job here. I think you've been greatly misunderstood lately, but these changes and your recent presence in the comments show that you're working hard, not just for you, but for all the people gathered in this little corner of the interwebs.
If you're truly taking all the comments to heart then take this to heart: You're doing a wonderful job, your efforts are paying off, and we greatly appreciate everything. #cotomersevis

I can't even imagine what it took for you to get this change implemented. Thank you for the effort that it took. I appreciate it.
Not being too tech savvy myself, it may take me a few days to sort this out, but it will be well worth the effort.
Also, despite the naysayers, I also appreciate how much hell you went through to get the Lutz vs Siler showdown going. Thank you for that. #cotomersevis

I wish I had time to go through and figure this out right this second, but I can't do it in the middle of a post-grad class.
I'll get this down eventually, though. #cotomersevis

I'm not sure what the other Gawker sites made of the switch to their respective version 2.0s, but it seems that either the general sentiment here was shared elsewhere, or we Jalopnikers were vocal enough to warrant some pretty major changes. Like the original switch to 2.0, this is going to take some getting used to, but it seems like a real effort to bring people back to the fold and placate those who didn't like the last change. The streamlining of the site is nice too.
Time will tell how this works out, and I'm sure there will be more updates down the road, but I applaud the changes you've made and the way you've listened to the wishes and opinions of the commentariat. Ray, I'm sure that you spent a lot of time talking with the head honchos, so thank you for conveying our thoughts.
Now I'm just going to have to figure out what this Twitter-like business is and how it works, and I'm good to go! #cotomersevis

I want Jalopnik to always be a special place for our commenters and I think this revision helps to make it more special than before. The power is in all of your hands now, so use it.
Just try not to abuse it. Unless it's really funny. Then abuse the hell out of it. #cotomersevis

I'm of the opinion that diversity, warts and all, better than homogeneity.
We're all car enthusiasts here.
But that's just my opinion, not worth much in the scheme of things... #cotomersevis

Just the other day, I was saying to myself "Self, wouldn't it be neat if Jalopnik had some sort of forum where people can post about stuff outside of site articles - so there's no drama about a post being off topic and such". And now look what happened! I'm going to stop thinking. #cotomersevis
