So this is Disqus... Hope you don't mind, yet I'm going to use this thread to make my first post. ttyl.

Indeed, a LOT of faith is required on behalf of disqus powered blogs (& blog-owners).

What will happen if a post via Disqus (on your blog) offends a user. Will disqus administrators over-step there borders and administrate your blog's comments?

What if it goes off-line? What if Google discredits disqus comments and all that keyword rich content is blacklisted? What happens when the pharmacy spammers show up?

Still to many what-ifs.

Re: The 6 Best Ways to Rock FriendFeed

Czar — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:56:35 -0000

Excellent blog post regarding Friendfeed and how to rock-it. Not until twitter started acting up (few weeks ago) did friendfeed make it's into my browsing habit. Join rooms and subscribe to people that like what you like. In a little time the stream is customized to you (wow, everyone likes what I like? Interesting,..).

@RobLoach Thanks for the public release. I am interested in trying this disqus drupal module, yet I'm using v5.x (still, lol). Any chance you have a backport available?

@sreiser, Thanks for the URI, yet yesterday I decided to just bite the bullet and upgrade to Drupal v6.

@robloach. This Disqus/Drupal module is working flawlessly. 8-)

I can recommend Rob's module to anyone running Drupal v6.x. It's a few step installation and *boom* disqus at your fingertips. My wife has already converted her Drupal powered blog to disqus and I'll be doing the same shortly (once I decide what to do w/ the existing comments.)

Thanks.

The upgrade to v6 was smooth sailing. Granted, a few of my beloved
modules are M.I.A. yet there is certainly more then enough new modules
to try (out while those are developed.) There is something pleasant
about knocking off all the crude (or feature bloat) and starting over
w/ only the core modules and building up.

P.S. This is my first attempt to reply via email. Hope nothing comes
through to awful funky. ttyl

I am Kilik!

You like to look good at what you do, and more often than not you do! You're the kind of person that loves to be in control, but be careful not to flaunt this power that seems to come so naturally to you. You get indifferent at times and tend to deviate from the normal path and carve your own way through life. Being stubborn, sensual, and independent is what makes you this staff-wielding favorite.

I'm really surprised that Drupal displays the proper comment count in the node links. Very sweet.

Re: is there a list of sites that use Disqus?

Czar — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 18:27:51 -0000

I've ported over one topic w/ #29 comments (drupal to disqus) just to experience what an active disqus thread is like (as an admin.) From this point on it's all disqus powered (thanks Rob for the module). Now I wait for an automatic import...

My exchange URI (disqus users are welcome to join the conversation.)

Re: Admin's Blog (widget) Request

Czar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 09:03:09 -0000

This would make the transition from Drupal's current system, in which I used a block to display awaiting comments, easier. The dashboard might be great for you Daniel... yet I tend to forget that I have a dashboard and the incoming emails build-up (and is often overlooked for days)... so a block that said "0 comment in queue" or "1 comment in queue - view" would be superb.

PS: I also enjoy the idea of being able to "administrate" disqus from the comfort of my own site & this block would help me do that.

PSS: Other note is I find it a bit discouraging to visit my dashboard and then click "Unapproved" to find nothing... A block would prevent me from repeating this step.
