Dear Disqus... I trusted you. I let you host all... - Louis Gray

This is how I feel: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos... - Rubin Sfadj

Never trust a webservice ;) - Marcus

Even their front-end site is down. That's disappointing. - Mark Trapp

Indeed. Here's hoping they are on top of it. - Phil Glockner

hmmm might have to modify templates to check if the service is up before attempting to render comments - Bwana

Exactly. This was the thing most folks where wondering about, including me, so is it a service that is needed or just a better way to manage comments and where they occur? - Tris Hussey

I'm just seeing that comments are altogether missing. e-mail receive/reply of comments has been out 12 hours-ish. : ( - Robert Seidman

Bwana, in that respect, it looks like Disqus failed catastrophically gracefully. My tumblog and looks like Louis Gray's blog don't fail as they wait for Disqus comments. They just... are missing. - Mark Trapp

One reason why I stick with the comment features on the blog host i've been using for the last 5 years or so.. - Simon Bisson via Alert Thingy

Mark -- agreed. The Disqus Comments Plugin is definitely handling this gracefully, in that my site still comes up and renders, albeit without comments. - Phil Glockner

Thanks for the update. I was wondering why I didn't have any comment. Tsk tsk. - Corvida

http://blog.disqus.net/2008... - I think the "New Guy" broke it with his tests! - Tim Hoeck

I've blamed Leo Laporte; isn't leoville using Disqus? ; ) - Dan Covington

This is Scoble's fault. I know it. - felix

Blaming Scoble is definitely a save call. - sebmos

No, it's mine, sorry ;-) http://disqus.disqus.com/conditi... - directeur

It's time for eveyone to move on and try crashing Intense Debate. - Kevin Shannon

Believe I'll drop a nasty comment at disqus.com ... er, wait... - Dan Covington

I blame society - Seth Gottlieb via twhirl

"The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." What about the 2nd server? You guys have a 2nd server, right? - directeur

this is simply because Disqus users are not using the service as they expected. it isn't Disqus' fault. - Lou Paglia

Ah ok Mark, didn't realize that. That's actually a good feature - Bwana

growing pains ...it was their turn... - Anthony Farrior

so by one commenting system, all blogs get broken. Makes comment ownership a bit tougher - Chris Miller via twhirl

Such is the disadvantage of a single point of failure - Bwana

I didn't know the service was down until checking FF. I think it will be back and better than ever. - Ryne Nelson

The last update from Disqus is that Daniel Ha was playing poker last night. I hope he didn't bet the company on a pair of 3s. http://tinyurl.com/6mazok - Louis Gray

To anybody who slammed me for saying this about Disqus a few weeks ago, I will gladly buy you a plate of crow. - David Risley

Louis, you posted this message 23 minutes ago, and you already have a blog post. I think you have a problem :) - Rob Diana

LOL David - Bwana

[Simpsons' Helen Lovejoy voice] Won't someone PLEASE think of the children [/Simpsons' Helen Lovejoy voice] - Scott O'Raw

In an attempt to get more relevant, Disqus has gone offline to edit its servers so that the comment system no longer allows >140 characters. - Dan Covington

wtf is going on? how long is this going to take? fail fail fail. - sean808080

David, how do we know YOU didn't engineer this? - Phil Glockner

Phew, it's back. - Phil Glockner

Yup, just came back for me too - Bwana

And so FriendFeed provides yet another service as the back-up commenting channel of the Web. ;) - Mark Dykeman

Phil, that is the question. How do you know? :-) - David Risley

Since I'm on mobile at the moment, didn't even realize it was down. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo

Wow, disqus off-line? for how long? Any lost information? - Czar

disqus now back on line...can't wait to hear the spin on this. - sean808080

looks like it's back up now. Hooray! :) - felix

Rob, I wouldn't say I have a problem. It just shows I can post in about 10-20 minutes if I need to. :-) - Louis Gray

Thought I felt comments slipping away this morning. - Charlie Anzman

I just now received a notice on a comment reply from Disqus that was written 11 hours ago... good news being the queue is working - Michael W. May

It was like millions of comments cried out, and were suddenly silenced? - Sean Goller

i like disqus......... will ignore this as a one time incidence - sachin sawant
