Thanks, thought that was fixed, but should be now.

I agree that it is a stupid thing to do, but as others said, I don't see any racist remarks. This article mentions KKK and according to the report is equally racist as the video.

Alena,

Google just announced these on their blog.

I haven't seen anything yet from Google or Matt Cutts.

Thank you Gaurav. I'm wondering if Google have already published something it in their documentation concerning this.

Adam - I don't see a way to reset that email address if it is 'leaked'. Is there one?

Michael,

That is an interesting theory. However, I don't agree with it. In my opinion page sculpting is more than a myth. I agree that Google algo uses various ways to minimize page rank sculpting.

J,

The point here is that Google is missing checks. It is missing to honor the user settings or at least show a warning.

@Dave I did see Wired's Defense blog in the list.

@mediump - I agree, but being old is not an excuse to stop learning things. The link I posted from huffingtonpost has comments from much older people who use computer, embrace technology and have a drive to learn new things in the life.

Re: Disqus 2.0 WordPress plugin broken?

gsharma — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 20:15:52 -0000

Just realized that the export script not just simply exports the comments to DISQUS, but also update the User Agent of the comment. Just so that Disqus can run 'SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_agent NOT LIKE 'Disqus/%';'

I don't think that is the best implementation. IMO, Disqus should not be changing the user agent of the comments, at least not without showing an alert. They should 'select * from wp_comments' upload it to Disqus and then de-dupe the comments based on a key that contains site_id, post_id, comment_id.

This will increase an overhead on Disqus' servers (say Techcrunch was to export their comments) but it makes sure that the data on the wp's server is not altered by an 'export' script.

Edit: I might be wrong here. It seems like some comments got duplicated. The duplicate comments have the comment_agent as 'disqus/*'

oh brilliant then , I hope it will work when the plugin is fixed (at the moment i'm stuck with a "config disqus" message that wont go away ... when I click on it there is nothing more that appears)

Good thing about the export is that it puts the export in a queue. Most likely to balance load on Disqus' servers. I don't know if it also queues up comments on the local server as well.

Hmmm crap this scares me : I have 32 365 comments at the time we "speak" :-D This gonna be the hell of a long process to sync with Disqus :-D

(though at the moment I can't even config the plugin)

Re: Disqus 2.0 WordPress plugin broken?

Works fine for me. I added my username/pwd in the Comment > DISQUS and following the 3-4 step wizard. Old comments on Disqus synced up with my posts.

I am having problem exporting my comments from WP to DISQUS. I have more than 700 comments in WP, but DISQUS only shows 44 after the export. I re-exported the comments, but get the same result.

Awesome....I wish I could get this 2.0 thing to work now :)

Re: Export from Disqus back into Wordpress?

gsharma — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:24:45 -0000

Yes, they did for me :)

By "disqus only" I mean, the comments that were added through my blog to Disqus prior to v 2.0.

Re: Export from Disqus back into Wordpress?

marcseeger — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:22:08 -0000

So are old "disqus only" comments synced to the wordpress database?
That would be really cool

I just upgraded my old Disqus to 2.0 and I still don't see my comments on Disqus (prior to 2.0) in my db. Is it a real time sync? If not, how often comments are synced from Disqus to WP db?

Update: They synced up. I guess when I viewed that post.

gsharma — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 21:04:21 -0000

I agree. The only reason I am not taking down Disqus is I don't want to lose all these comments. There is no importer for Disqus to WP and I don't want to spend my time writing one. Will hang onto Disqus till them/someone else come up with a comment importer to WP.
