It had replies and rate-limited up/downvoting and if your comment got downvoted enough it would require to be clicked on to be seen, so naturally a whole ad-hoc community sprung up down there like moss on a rock. There was one guy who was so universally rejected for his posting that it became an in-joke to just go out of one's way to vote down his comments specifically, and I noticed as you got farther into the archive you reached a point where people started pointing out that his posting really wasn't bad enough to merit this sort of coordinated ostracizing and their posts would also start to get downvoted. Everyone else was in a constant dance of trying to be funnier with Onstad's comic than Onstad without getting pegged for trying too hard, which would lead to downvotes. An easy source of upvotes was to really go in on the TV show Scrubs, which caused a younger me to re-evaluate my opinion of the show and decide that it was fine for what it was but like many shows ran a bit too long. I have no idea if any of this stuff was ever saved because at some point Onstad deleted it all during one of his many hiatuses, but I saw it with my own eyes and I wonder if anyone else did.
e: After talking with Dos I think it was probably Disqus if that helps jog any memories, also he pronounces that like the verb and I pronounce it like the heavy frisbee
