Coming soon to a theater near you: Arnold Schwarzenegger is THE DEBUGGER.
(Tag: a shot of Arnold with a gun pointed at the camera. Arnold says "GOTO Hell" and pulls the trigger. Cut to black.)
It practically writes itself.

If you just want to know if someone is a newbie, new users have light grey usernames.
Ah, so it's 50 Shades of Usernames... But seriously, how is having an undiscoverable feature indicated by a slight color change (and a difficult-to-read color at that) better than having an explicit, quantifiable piece of text?
Jeff, I get what you're trying to do. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you've actually built a pretty decent article commenting system. A forum, however, is a different beast, and you're sacrificing usability to fit your Grand Unifying Theory of web discussion. Trying to shoehorn both modes of discussion into a one-size-fits-all interface is distracting at best, user-hostile at worst.
There are some great features here -- for one, the ability to automatically pick up where you left off reading is killer. But that could be just as easily applied to a paginated forum view as an infiniscroll of comments. And all the little things that people are used to from pretty much every other forum ever -- pagination, post count, timestamps -- are just visual styling. It can't be too much to ask for some configuration options (meaning built in to the software, not "go write a plugin").
Maybe installing Discourse in a new site that has no preconceived notions of a web forum would go more smoothly, I don't know. I just think you're uprooting long-held expectations for the sake of being different. Sometimes being radically different is good and/or necessary; I don't think this is one of those cases.
That's all part of the evil. Meta-evil, if you will.
You might even say we're gonna get meta-evil on your ass.
Here's an actual picture of a new user vs. not a new user, for context<img src="/uploads/default/2236/31e86c42c102b6f4.png" width="596" height="294">
You mean an actual picture at 200% zoom? That light grey is really hard to read at regular size, and worse, it's ambiguous. One could easily interpret it as logged in vs. logged out, for example. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of stuff fading in and out all over the place.
Vaguely related but not quite relevant to what I was looking for:
That's (thankfully) a fake news site. http://empirenews.net/about-disclaimer/

@hungrier That hummus metaphor was fucking awful.
Yes, but the hummus itself was fucking delicious.
Came for a Scotty quote, was not disappointed.
I knew then that I should perhaps spend less hours glued to the screen of that game.
I once drove through a post-concert pedestrian-filled stadium parking lot mere hours after playing Carmageddon. Took all my willpower not to accelerate madly into the crowd.

I'm still not convinced that "havenworks.com" isn't some sort of joke.
If not a joke, then at least intentionally bad (and proud of it). Scroll down near the bottom:
I misread the title as "Meatbag". I assumed it was an insult bot. Seriously disappointed now.
Depends... if we're talking about Denise Richards, well, let's just say I'd like to reroute auxiliary power through her plasma conduit. IYKWIM.
Hmm, from the title I expected some kind of Chinglish or
reverse-Babelfish-translation story... but this is pretty amusing
too. I definitely think those images with the stick figures need
to be animated. Also, I like the quote that the algorithm "runs
faster than Dijkstra". Come on, he's an old man, how fast can he
possibly run? (Actually, turns out he died a couple years ago, so I guess there's no question now.)

Though, any aircraft would be perfectly fine to launch an air-to-air missile. A hot-air balloon or Cessna would count just fine.
How about using a surface-to-air missile to launch the air-to-air missile?
You'd not want to sleep underneath it, though.

I see what you (almost) did there...
NOT the Konami Code.
Yeah, I didn't recognize your sequence specifically, but it made me think of Konami. I didn't have NES (or Sega) and only knew of the code from a neighborhood kid. One of the best weeks of my childhood was when they went on summer vacation and asked my brother and me to feed their cat. Surprisingly, my mom didn't say anything about how much time we spent at their house every day. To this day I wonder whether she realizes how long it actually takes to feed a cat (hint: not as long as it takes to use up 30 lives in Contra).
Bug: Discourse does nothing when the Konami Code is entered.
My suggestion is to have it enable the secret pagination mode. When someone finally discovers it, @codinghorror can say, "It was there all along, you just weren't using the right keyboard shortcut!"
A friend of mine got the government-issued plate LUV 34D. He said it perfectly expressed his taste in women.
All this time and no one asked @FrostCat why he was eating lunch in the bathroom?

"Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge"
I've never heard that. I learned "Every Good Boy Does Fine," but I like your version. Does it have walnuts?
I learned Every Good Boy Does Fine for treble clef and Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always for bass. Had to pack the fudge in there somewhere, as it were.
You mean you couldn't tell from her "acting"?
IIRC Jenkins (which was originally a fork of Hudson) has a new fork out that's newer because Jenkins was not being updated quickly enough. I don't recall what the fork is named though.
Please say Mr Belvedere please say Mr Belvedere...
Until the one day that I happened to snap my hair band.
Not that you weren't completely in the right, but this is the reason I carry an extra hair band on my keyring. Never know when one might break. (Actually, I started carrying it after forgetting to wear one on an amusement park trip -- one backwards-running roller coaster and all my hair ended up in front of my face. Never again.)
