Even better than First Post. Introducing COMMENT ZERO
Niero \| 4:10 PM on 09.04.2007	74 comments

We just added a little note next to the comment time stamp (and due to the way arrays are displayed in PHP), the first comment record is actually displayed as a zero instead of the number one. Instead of correcting this by adding everything with plus one, Tom suggested that zero was way more l337 anyway and we agreed that it shall remain.

Another Destructoid Industries innovation, brought to you by the letter Beer.

Comment Zero is superior.

Hows about a link that lets you link to a comment you're quoting?

You guys should patent the use of Comment Zero.

MAD CASH. Everyone at least posts first comment like 3-4 times. So that Zero is a lock.

Kryptinite says:
(# 14) on 09/04/2007 16:26

oh man, i just realized it'll say X comments on a story but when you take a look at what number comment the story is actually on, it'll be X - 1.

TOO CONFUSING! thanks a lot beer!

"Instead of correcting this by adding everything with plus one, Tom suggested that zero was way more l337 anyway and we agreed that it shall remain."

Now you just need to work on making the red "Comments" line read "0" until there are two comments. The noobs will be all "Yeah bitches! I'm all fast and have nothing better to do! First poSHIT WHAT?!"

Namelessted says:
(# 42) on 09/04/2007 18:05

comment forty five

Namelessted says:
(# 43) on 09/04/2007 18:06

holy shit Niero, you have just destroyed the comment system. Well, I am going to abuse it anyway. I would never want to count how many comments there are but now i can just go to the end of every post and say "comment #" and I will be a douchebag for doing it. I am so worthless it isn't even funny.

SLiFE says:
(# 44) on 09/04/2007 18:19

We just have to keep the comments coming til it rolls over back to zero.

Brad Rice says:
(# 45) on 09/04/2007 18:25

Way to fail, Lemon. Niero, let me guess: this was so that you didn't have to count the 333rd comment in the Halo giveaway.

Goddamn this is fucking annoying.

(# 47) on 09/04/2007 18:27

Dear Jesus what have you done?

Just look at the first comment of nearly every clog since this was posted.

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
