Sorry about the comments not working. Disqus is having system-wide issues. If it stays down much longer I’ll remove Disqus for the time being. If anyone knows of a good alternative that won’t leave me buried in comment spam, I’m all ears.

   Yeah, the accounts server has been wonky for the last 72 hours, it’s BECAUSE Disqus was “sold” around 2011 “overseas”, from the original white frat boy coders. I was there in 2003. I was one of THE first “anyones” to install the disqus API on my site in 2004.
   Hope this helps.

   The FCC is voting to seize American internet infrastructure in the name of ‘equity’

   Here’s the funny thing. I was on TheBlaze.com and wanted to make a comment as to the passing of Dana Carvey’s son. The article showed three comments. I clicked on the link and all comments were gone.

   So…I posted a comment. We shall see.

   Fortunately the FCC has just voted itself control over all internet activity.

   Coincidence? Yeah.

   I like the old format better. Reminds me of the good old days… remember them, Van Helsing? 🙂

   The thing I like about Disqus is that it gives me a central place to go to see activity on my comments. That way, I don’t have to remember where I commented to go back and check.

   I wonder if it’s possible to create a fork of Disqus just like Infogalactic, Conservapedia, etc… are forks of Wikipedia?
