I'm sorry but I don't think this story is correct. From what I understand it wasn't "MarkMadsen.com" that was purchased. It was actually "p2p.com" and Madsen was just purchasing it as a side investment. But if I'm not up to date on my internet nerdness then someone correct me. (To be fair I am reading deadspin at 2:30 so clearly I've got some nerd credibility.)
If the idea behind the commenting crackdown was to create better quality, more relevant discussions, and instead we have a bunch of empty threads, allow me to be the millionth person to point out what a big ol' pile of fail looks like.
Who's in charge of rogue DUAN? Do they have preconditions to their return? Because now when I'm bored late at night I talk to my girlfriend. It sucks; she doesn't know ANYTHING about sports.
Then Kobe got up to the mic: "Okay, everyone who received a pink wristband, please proceed to room 418 at the LA Hilton, grab a chair, and wait in the ready position."
hilarious! except that, you know, the earth goes through cycles, there are actually more scientists that say global warming isn't as bad as we think and we're actually starting to globally cool than there are scientists who freak out over global warming, and a lot of the global warming "science" is a little bit made up.
i'm not saying global warming doesn't exist or that we shouldn't be energy-efficient and all that, but don't just dismiss his views right out. he's got some evidence on his side.
"Evolution? Also bullshit. Go ahead, give me one actual biological advantage to Larry Bird's whispy mustache. There are none! Why does he have it then? I'll tell you why. Because the big guy upstairs thought sending his son down in long locks and a beard again would be too obvious, that's why. Toned it back and left that tangent of peach fuzz on his lip. Next question."

The plot left something to be desired.

Who are you? Reveal yourself!
Anytime somebody slags off the new and improved(?) Deadspin, you're the first and most vocal defender.
AJ's Mom? Emeritus? Weintraub? Inquiring minds want to know.

Is the rogue DUAN located elsewhere?
Because I'm sitting here with a sleeping farting dog who knows even less about sports.

Could Phil Jackson look any more like my confused grandfather in that picture?

How dare Kobe laugh at us. We'll remember this, Kobe. Oh yes, we will remember.
