My foolishly foolish mistake was creating the account with AVC. I've tried logging in to Disqus, but it doesn't even acknowledge the account's existence. I am perplexed. |

Wtf NuDisqus?
Where did the notifications go?
And why only 20 comments before having to load more comments? This getting ridiculous!
ETA: it seems things are back to the previous normal...

For two days last week, I could actually see and post comments.
And now it's gone again.
I am not sure, though, whether to blame NuDisqus or the wacky work firewall.

Disqus says they're upgrading over the next few days "based on your great feedback". |

It's not a technical difficulty, but I just got called a virgin on the Arrow comment thread because I expressed the opinion that mature women do not necessarily have ugly breasts.
Can't stop laughing. But it is another sign of how the quality of discourse had plummeted ever since they allowed any gobshite on Disqus to comment - lotta dudebros stinking up the place, these days.

I loved checking out the commenting history of people who were aggressively defending Jay Leno in that piece on the homepage today. Believe it or not, they're all hardcore Republicans. Who would have thought? |

What I'm annoyed by, and it's not due specifically to Disqus or the re-design, is that articles older than a day or two are basically dead to comments. I won't be able to watch last night's episode until at least tomorrow, by which point I might as well not bother commenting because almost no one will reply back. I realize this is a feature of all sites that traffic in novel content to attract visitors, but I'm still bummed out since the community on the TV reviews does seem rather inviting. |

I really think nuDisqus is a huge part of the problem. I don't go into the older comments for the popular TV shows like Community because I have no intention of hitting the Load More Comments button a few hundred times, whereas I had no issue with going from page to page in the old system. |

I've been having tremendous difficulty getting comments to load over the last couple of weeks. I have to refresh the page multiple times before I see any comments. Also, whatever change that Nu-Disqus made last week broke the Tampermonkey script I had been using that automatically loaded all the comments.

Was discourse over in The Old Country better or worse before enforced registration? Discuss. I certainly enjoyed it more pre-enforced registration, but that doesn't really answer the question, does it? The discourse was worse, but funnier, in that one could make up user names that pertained to the story. And it was nice to anonymously needle certain people who shall remain nameless but only spoke about dub-step and its importance to pop-culture. |

Better before registration, but now is worse than registration. In conclusion: Fuck You Disqus. |

So bold html tags don't work anymore at AVC (thereby ruining the structure of the Commie's 2013 Meme of the Year), and for some reason starting this evening every article is defaulting my comments to Newest First.

For the last couple of days, comments are loading about one time in every six attempts. This is a shame, as I was having fun engaging a troll on threads pertaining to The Beatles. I've been patient with all the other changes, but this is getting wearying now. Fucking tools.

I think I've actually given up on commenting because of the most most recent changes. Fuck you Disqus, the intellectual elite of TI was right and I'll hate them forever for being right.

Was discourse over in The Old Country better or worse before enforced registration? Discuss. At this point I'd say it was worse, but this new crosslinking Disqus allows is bringing the "gobshites" (got a good LOL out of that, Lupin) back in droves. But go read the comments of articles from those days and comments would get very ugly, very fast. It seemed like every established poster back then had their own personal troll that just stalked them from thread to thread. I actually wince reading some of those older comments. It'll probably get really nasty in a month or two though when spring breaks start hitting. I remember that trend from the last two years, at least. |

I noticed the bold tag fail a couple of days ago, thought it was a temporary thing (silly me). I'm assuming this was done just to stop us memeing... The AV Clubspoiling all your fun since NuDisqus |

I'm still blaming NuDisqus for sure by being a clusterfuck of unwanted syndicated content but you tell me a better comment system they could use and no, you can't say the old one as that had horrible threading and lacked downvoting which I appreciate more than simple likes because my lizard brain wants to know who I pissed off more than who agreed with me.

I wish downvoting wasn't anonymous though. If I downvote someone, I want them to know that I did it. |

That's so vindictive, I like it. It's also because I want to know who the hell downvotes things that are completely benign. If I say something like, "X band sucks!" and people downvote it, I understand, but sometimes it will be something like, "I wish Playstation 4 had better backwards compatibility. I hate having to have 3 different Playstation systems in my entertainment center to play the Playstation games I already own," and like 14 people will downvote it. |

I've been downvoted for equally benign things so I understand what you mean. Not so inclined to draw up a shitlist of the most common offenders or anything and downvote theirs in kind... no, not at all.
