Comments: Disqus Coming
Well, this has been a while in coming, but for a variety of reasons I am switching to Disqus comments on this site. Essentially this means commenters will have to register, though I feel like the registration is pretty un-intrusive as Internet things go. Active commenters in the blogosphere likely already have a Disqus account. And there are some definite benefits in terms of comment ranking and such that I hope will offset any hassle. I have been testing Disqus on Climate Skeptic, along with the security updates I have been slowly porting over here, and I am pretty happy with the result.
What this means is that for several days, comments will disappear here as Disqus imports them. Though they they promise a day turnaround, on Climate Skeptic it took them nearly a week. With all the comments on this site, it may take a while. New comments will still work, but the old ones will go away, and then magically return a few days later. Hopefully.
By the way, this is a mild illustration of what started the security lockdowns at the climate blog. These are actually minor spikes compared to some in the past, and so far I have seen no similar patterns at any of the other blogs I run. A number of folks active in the climate debate have been hacked of late.
No habla
Anyone wish to translate?
Thanks, eh!
You need to be authenticated. But there's no new comments...I guess they should put.."The comment section has ended"

no one is authentic
dafuq? LOL
I lol'd too
It looks like no one is able to comment.
Not sure if it's disqus or CNN.
They've been shutting down threads lately, they might be in a process of closing down the comment section altogether.
Why dont you do Witchcraft on CNN comments so we can continue commenting?
I just saw two new comments on the Obama "breathrough" story
now THERE is an idea
Still cant comment...I guess its only for CNN people!
Having the same issue here....although one person did comment.
I think its haxed because the approval disapproval numbers are going crazy
Maybe one slips through here and there, but when you look at all the threads, something is definitely off.
It would make sense for CNN to shut down the threads. Most people are actually agreeing on certain issues and I'm fairly convinced our government is opposed to that.
I concur, I wonder if it is this Coyote person
I just tried to comment on the latest CNN Obuma story and it states "You must be authenticated". What the hell does that mean? Anyone know?
The owner of the Coyote Blog is smuggling our comments to his blog site?
welcome to Limbo
It means that there is either a glitch, or you made it to the list.
Me too! lol
The list?
I don't think it has anything to do with that.
It will probably be up and running soon.
They could have shut it down when the Snowden saga first surfaced...that was a much bigger blow to the government than the Syrian crisis.
"America wants to go to war" is hardly a shocking headline.
CNN lol
That is funny!
lol...thanks. Should I be happy if I made the list?
I'm wondering if CNN is forcing people to login with their website in order to use Disqus there?
Who knows.
But, it took me a while to find this.
Tried that and got the same response.
I always sort by (Newest)
something is definitely broken. I created a new Disqus account and authenticated it and I get the same message.
A much bigger blow that still hasn't been resolved...
But there are some new comments being posted.
Yeah, most of the avatars are missing.
CNN comment section became boring..Just read the comments at "Obama:Breakthrough..." and it looks like granny's commenting there..
a few people seem to be able to comment.
If they are, in fact, banning people, could be they're banning by IP address.
Somehow I think it's just a glitch.
Just joking about the list. Although, it certainly would be something if CNN started banning people for sharing views that don't go along with the government's agenda.
From whom though...CNN people? i tried everything and can comment still
And it won't be.
They'll tweak it a bit, just to keep us quiet, and continue the exact same way.
or anybody's
Banning would certainly be easier than attempting to moderate all the comments that aren't pro-Obuma.
I call that Communism!!
I believe my IP address is blocked, because both of my disqus names have been blocked and I haven't used one of them in about a year.
Ones with profiles which cannot be accessed.
What does that mean?
I'd agree, although nothing would surprise me.
I think it's a glitch.
There is no way they would ban so many so fast.
The threads are dead for the most part.
Also, when you are banned the message is different.
If that's true, that's over-the-top ridiculous! Is the NSA going to confiscate our computers next?
