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.
same IP address?
For future reference, what does it say when that happens?
True.
If that was the case, it would not affect me.
Someone has been banging at my door for the past 2 hours, could it be them?
:P
You admit that? lol (jk)
Probably the Mormons.
heh heh...you never know. Maybe they want you for a beer summit.
Ha...it's been about three years since it happened to me, so I don't recall the exact wording.
But, it definitely lets you know that you've been banned.
lol
try rebooting to pick up a new ip unless you are set to a static one
lol...For sure!!
I think it states something like "you don't have permission to post on this website".
Still a problem here on CNN. Ummm... I'm not ADDICTED or anything. Just found it interesting. Works here, so must be a CNN problem, right?
no i did a release/ renew
Not website..Thread.
Figures
Sounds legit.
You must be authenticated to perform this action
Hi, welcome to the 'unauthenticated' club.
I use Disqus. Logged off, logged on, still doesn't work. And I'm not controversial. Promise.
10 comments in 30 minutes on the headline article about Syria.
Major glitch.
Oh god, you found us.
everybody run!!!!
true....
what
Hey why aren't comments going through on CNN?
A whole bunch of new comments showing up on CNN.
I still get the same message, though.
Welcome
I noticed you can still down vote CNN comments - which you have to be logged in to do. Also the fact that the comment section would be swamped by now and it's not....so In that regard, I'm thinking it's a glitch
OBAMA YOU ARE A LIAR AND A HORRIBLE PRESIDENT!
I was able to post on CNN...try it now
Even Turdeye was just allowed to post.
It's happening to everyone - Certainly a glitch of some sort.
I was just able to post

CNN must really not want people talking about Obama today lol
i work there and i see a series of mistakes, first skychef should never have parked in the red zone, second push back needs to check his surroundings before pushing out, and third the wing walker should have seen it. .. as for wing walkers, that gate only requires one .. I can see how easily the car was hidden under the wing from where the push back stands..
Yes, I thought about that also. Seems to work here great. It just maybe the CNN site. I was on a few other sites that has Disqus, an they worked fine. :)
It's working now... I suppose this was all CNN...
To the owner of this site. Somehow a few of us were directed to this site... Read below.
I would like apologize for taking up so much space and time on your site. Please feel free to delete all my postings.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
watch me make those numbers climb up MARK MY WORDS.
Your account was banned. I had several notifications that you commented on my post, but when I tried to read them, CNN had deleted them. Also all your past history of posting on CNN is gone from your profile. Hope this helps. Looks like they disabled access from your account.
