This is still getting more support?...
I still don't like this; it feels similar to Youtube comments (or annotations) and we all know how intelligent those are. Even some of the people supporting it are saying they "can't wait to see the spam"; I'd call that a bad sign. Plus, replays are automatically generated. That means that people can leave comments on thousands of things that people didn't even intentionally make available for commenting on. Thousands of comment boxes to be abused, and I don't know how many people would actually comment on any given replay. Not enough to really generate discussion. Basically, I just can't think of anything PRODUCTIVE that will come from this.
I'd much rather see commenting on maps encouraged and made easier. At least then all the "baka baka~" spam would be in one place. If you really want attention for your replays, upload them to Youtube or something.
