Two complaints

I have two suggestions that would really improve the rifftrax experience for me. First of all, I'm kind of annoyed that I have to make a new account to post on the forums when I already have an active account on the main sight. Why couldn't you just transfer my account name and password over to the forums?

Also, I kind of went a little nuts and bought dozens of rifftraxs with the intention of watching later whenever I had friends over and we wanted to watch a movie, but there was nothing on TV or worth renting. One of the rifftrax I bought was XXX. I saw that it was available on Netfilx, so I thought it would be an ideal one to buy, since I wouldn't need to pay money to buy or rent that shitty ass movie, and could just buy the riff and enjoy it. It was going great, but then about 20 or so minutes into the movie, the riffs got totally out of sync. It took about 6 mintues, but I was finally able to get it back into sync, but after awhile, it got totally out of sync again. Looking it up, it turns out that there is an extended version that is 8 minutes longer that is not compatible with the rifftrax, and apparently that's the version that is on Netflix (there is no note on the movie discription on netflix that it is the extended version).

I know it would take a little bit of extra work, but considering that as of March 2012 there are 26.5 million subscribers to netflix streaming movies, couldn't you take a little bit of time to creat another audio file that syncs up the audio to the extended version that is on Netflix? I know that creates a little bit of extra dead air, but that is way better than spending money to rent or buy a crappy dvd that I would never watch if it wasn't for the fact that I own the rifftrax. I'm really annoyed that instead of enjoying my buzz and watching a funny movie, I'm sitting on the Internet and whinning on a forum on the weekend. This is the first time I've ever felt ripped off by a rifftrax.
