Meh.. What is the reason exactly?

"Note: comments will still be aggregated by BackType and accessible through our website; however, users will no longer have the ability to explicitly claim any comments"

Tbey're still doing all the server side stuff. This is a feature many people love and they take it away.

They're also keeping URL profiles but not user profiles. Seems arbitrary.
