This Month is my 10 year anniversary here on Disqus. I’ve seen so many changes over the years. I have to say that I’ve gotten to meet people from all over the Disqus universe. By far most have been pleasant experiences. As long as the good Lord is willing, I’ll continue to post, write, and create new channels.
- What about you, how long have you been on Disqus?
- What do you get from posting comments and interacting with so many difference people on Disqus?
10yrs you have got old on disqus
Salaam Sufi,
There are many people who have been on here much longer than him.
As salamu alaikum My GOD!I found this site by mistake.I was just typing on crome try to Google something then HELL camed up.I been sining ever sense.
I think that I’ve only been with “DISQUS” for about two years, since 2017.
2014 that was weird how i discovered disqus i just googled a topic i wanted to read about and disqus poped up i had to register for disqus then to read more ( cant remember what it was about ) i didnt use disqus anymore for 4-6 months and ever since then i used it daily !
Hi Katie,
You signed up on Disqus 2 years earlier than me.
I hope you’ve found something you need either the fun or friends..:)
i really like disqus its good to stay occupied and like keep the mind occupied to NOT think of any negative / depressing thoughts
It’s good if you find it that way for being here, Katie.
I like it for getting to know more difference people and get knowledge from exchanging comments with them…:))
it feels nice to be here it really does i like your channel it feels pleassant there too .
i like to share advice sometimes like if im writting to someoen who has gone thru a stressfull moment i try to suggest some helpfull tips to them to feel relaxed . i have to go soon for awhile im cleaning house .
It’s good if you find it that way for being here, Katie.
I like it for getting to know more difference people and get knowledge from exchanging comments with them…:))
I’ve only been at it for six years.
Happy anniversary on your 6th year here…:))
My anniversary was back in August.
Sorry for being late.
It’s better to say afterwards than before the date..:)
I never commenting anywhere until 2012. Then I discovered “Patch news” which actually had lively conversations going in many of them. They changed the whole setup, and everyone left
2016,…..Disqus, and this channel was the first “home channel” for me.
One day I will visit Jann in the Philippines on the way to Murni’s place where i will teach her the Tango, and finally at “Ubudian roy’s” paradise to straighten his brain out LOL
Just kidding Roy, but the rest is real.

😂😂😂
When will that happen? …:))
your Mod seat is empty, do you like to take it back now?
Let me know.
Hey Murni. I thanks very much. Still keeping my focus on the work ahead.
No problem and good luck on the work ahead and get closer to the goals..:))
I joined in May 2009. I wasn’t real active, though. At the time, The Huffington Post had just merged with America On-Line. CompuServe and AOL shared a “forum” base, where people spent their time on message boards that dated as far back as 1981. I was making a fair bit of money turning several of those discussions into front-page headlines for them at the time, and Huffington asked that we use their material as fodder. And Huffington, of course, was already entangled with Disqus.
Congratulations on your 10th year here too regardless active or not active…:))
I like Huffington ! Nice journalism.
Joined Dec 8, 2008
Congratulations!
Your anniversary is only next month..:))
Congratulations on your 11th year here.
Thanks.

That guy is a transphobe. He wants to murder transgender children by denying them medical treatment.
👍👍💕✌️☑️
Howdy, MC. Congrats on your 10 year anniversary.
Thanks!
I am the most banned person On Disqus. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
I got banned from a Christian blog this morning.
I was polite, but I guess they don’t like having their “god” compared to the tooth fairy. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/88e5f6f879be49c12016f33c5c5291703b9a617f44ae74f5d3efe594628a85fd.png
Certainly wasn’t a Charlotte channel (bwhahhah ) !!
does he/she have a channel ?
she has a channel ? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b5c9646f8d899aa5da7bfa789707b70270e29923b93ba30544b22198d79c7000.gif
Which channel?
Doesn’t sound familiar to me.
I don’t have a channel. These trolls are stalking me.
does he/she have a channel ?
no, but you can comment on my Tumblr: https://grandmotherweb.tumblr.com/post/188791728758/opinion-i-have-a-transgender-son-gender
Okay ! If ok with you !!
Any transphobic comments will be deleted and the offending users banned. Tell your friends.
I don’t have a channel. Maybe I’ll add Disqus commenting to my Tumblr. If so, you will be banned immediately, along with everyone else who thinks like you.
No surprise…=D
I like to behave myself on your channel Murn.
You are nice and fair …. and understanding.
I love how I get to post on your channel … but the tough guys at Detroit news banned be for making fun of someones bald head ….
And it was a nice bald head
That’s what I see when you are here: the real Stan, the nice side..:))
I thought you posted things like you have on your comment history.
But was he really bald?
he had a comb over
Like he was bald … but trying to cover it up.
I was mice to him and one time we disagreed on a political story …. after that he became very hateful … So I told him 100 bald jokes ….
I got banned …. It was hilarious …. They get so serious … and insulting … and that is ok … but if I tell some funny jokes … they get mad and ban me 🙂
I guess it makes sense to them.
Hahaha….. they might think you were a bot for saying and posting nice there. No need to take it as insult. Try posting there again in one week, I am sure you’ll be unbanned by then.
You were mice to him? What a cheesy thing to do!
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KlRO_Rk2QXE/hqdefault.jpg
Sorry, I just had to.
Awww !! He looks soft !!
typos hapopen
Stan, you the cabinet guy, right?
I am… and my teachers said I would be a loser 🙂
You’re not a mean , vindictive dude by any means .
“I am the most banned person On Disqus” you sure?
That I know of
I liked you disqus channel …
You did not ban for silly reasons
“silly” . You know I loved it there !! Boohoo ! 😚😰
i never banned anyone. but jj may have been banned more than you from other channels. hell i was banned from 5 channels one day just for posting the same topic on them.
You are a good mod Mike … kudos !
Yes, he is for not even ban a troll.
Mike has been a good friend, he was the one that made me created MNC.
He even helped me to pick the name…:))
I always liked Mike …. I don’t always agree with his views … but that’s ok … I don’t expect to agree with everyone… he was cool for not banning and I liked the way he ran his channel !
You didn’t restart your channel anywhere?
no.
Maybe they are trying to Teach their kids other stuff that doesn’t include Butt stuff?
They should teach their children critical thinking
Ok … well in respect of your belief in a bronze age middle eastern cult containing a virgin birth and a talking snake … I will refrain from making fun of you …. 🙂
I guess my reply to this was removed?
I just checked out moderation panel and found no deleted comments from this thread.
I like you Stan, but read my previous response. This is the kind of offensive tone that isn’t productive. Presuming intellectual superiority.
Again, I see it more now from secular folks than religious. It’s no better than somebody thumping a Bible. Same intolerance.
Religion and critical thinking are not mutually exclusive. Nor do all religions mandate literalism. I’m Catholic but strictly speaking agnostic if viewing things from a perspective of science. I know Orthodox Jews, Baptists, and devout Muslims that are high IQ achievers across STEM disciplines.
Many people opt for religion to be spiritual. Remaining tolerant, plural, and respecting the right to free association. It’s actually self styled secular humanists who aren’t when they attack religions, putting up a straw man of intolerant fundamentalism, which most religious folks aren’t in the USA.
We’re in a Catholic school. 20% are not Catholic. But the education is excellent, here in the Bay Area where there are many public good schools. Bu these kids score the highest grades, getting into the best high schools…mostly because of a culture of academic and social excellence, where critical thinking is paramount.
I’m pretty successful in software engineering, data science, and as an investor. But I go to Mass. The rites and rituals of the Catholic church are my heritage, identity, and foster positive spirituality.
Believe me, I don’t mix data structures and algorithms with the Exegesis of the Bible. Finally, when I need a change, I read The Lord of the Rings or The Silmarillion. I get spiritual comfort from Tolkien too…more so than from an imaginary tooth fairy, yet another straw man comparison.
Religion and spirituality are part of the human psyche and evolution. We evolve religions in light of modern knowledge. Again, many religious people remain formidable academically, socially, and professionally. They’re anything but simplistic subscribers to fairy tales.
Sorry, mate. We are not discussing religion here, ever.
oh .. ok
A Rabbi, priest, and a Muslim walk into a bar to talk about Democrats, and Republicans ….

LOL! Well done!
LOL I purposefully took a risk with that, as I don’t think you know who I am right?
I probably do not know who you are, but that was very funny.
I used to be here a lot, and shall return.
My claim to fame was owning the channel for 3-4 weeks, then gave it back to Murni when I realized how much work was required. It was also at a time when Jann was gone, and not many were writing articles. Keep up the good work.
Wow. That is a whole lot of work. Please do come here early and often. 😀
Will do once i:
1) Get through my emergency mode of catching up on work….(Billing customers)
2) Had enough

Hey, Bro.
Good morning.
He is our very good friend.
=D
Good afternoon, Murn! We’ll take extra good care to treat our friends well.
Hehehe….. he is actually part of our MNC family.
Hey M, Morning…:))
I agree to join: Rabbi, A Muslim Scholar, a Christian & Catholic Priest, Democrats & Republicans and non believer friends to have happy chats talking about humanity, then have a nice dinner together and I’ll be very happily to take cater of the best and the most delicious foods for them.

You’re Soo Gracious ! Beautiful !
Amen and thank you.
Congratulations Murn. Disqus can be a healthy outlet to have fun and make virtual friendships. Even learn a few things. I appreciate your work in helping keep this channel and our friendships here alive.
I’m on Disqus 7 years now.
Thank you as always.
April was my year 3 for being here, but I was on and off and took many breaks. I think now I stay the longest since the new site.
Congratulations on your 7th year here.
For those who are not familiar with my work, here’s two links to two channels that I recently started.
Click on the articles. I also did a homepage that you may or may not like.
https://5d29ea00dbf94.site123.me/
https://5d63fc6a58af6.site123.me/
So MC’s Cafe is back.
The sites looks good.
Great. It’ll be fun to join the chats there.
Congrats and good luck..:))
MC; my disqus days began 2015 or was it 2016 .. anywho, it started when I googled Anna Nichole Smith on something in which landed to Peoples Magazine online site which entailed a “commenters forum” via disqus. Alike this channel , the same cliches on people magazine online forums.One day out of the blue, the rug was pulled & to participate required Facebook /page to post. I still miss Aussie Cathy, Too Shy, Sambora 1, and Cathyo’toolesbackyall . Moving on I came across disqus underground, art channel, and a pet channel. Then became acquainted with a * variety of custom made channels created by extrodinary individuals & groups.
That’s almost as long as me.
But I have only met you recently, where were you, Lily?
I kept taking long breaks for many times so I wasn’t completely here for all that time.
I knew Disqus from someone who convinced me that it wasn’t a dating site, so I signed up here, met many good people and only very few are bad….=D
Hi Murn !! I was on some the channels No Name was on. Shirley’s, Stan’s, Truthseekers, and plenty more I bopped around in . Are you still doing your European Holiday Holiday soon ?? 🤗👍
Hey Lily,
Good morning.
Yes, how do you know that? I have only told Merlin Ti, and told Josh recently but not that details, and I told Frank as he is in Hamburg and I’ll be in Germany on our day 7. I sent him email but I haven’t seen response yet.
I am ready to go, the visa, airline tickets etc etc, all is done. I have even finished packing…:)))
Let’s go there, Lily….*Smile
Sweetie, I remember everything. You had mentioned over a month ago. I’m awaiting the beautiful show & tell !
Ahhh…yes.
Will definitely post some pictures from there and you’ll be the first to tag…:))
Ok Murn, not to drive you bananas, but do you send actual postcards of your travels ?
Not postcards, they’ll be pictures that I take myself during the trip.
Frank Bauman ? Are flying Luftansa. I like the exit window seat . More room to crawl over and the emergency exit door .
Yes, him.
I’ll tag him later.
I would usually prefer Singapore Airline or Emirates, to me they are the best but this time since we are group of more than 15 people, we fly with Qatar as they have the closer routing. That’s the seat I would always avoid….:))
They have private room accommodation ! I think..

Oh no , I would never do anything dating site. And I prefer forums/threads where’s there’s not a zillion comments/posts to go thru. Quaint Company /communities suit me fine !
That’s why I signed up because Disqus is a commenting forum, I won’t bother at all if it’s something like a dating site. It’s even on our prohibition list for NO link to dating site.
I’m sure relationships have developed thru these channels; lest it’s not the pretentious, superficial cheesy creepy someone’s your not acquainted with . Plus those sites get hacked as there’s a membership fee. Too unsafe.
I feel and know that people on here are real.
Some maybe pretend to be someone else they want to be but all people I get along with, they are real and nice and become friends…:))
Exactly ! It’s nice meeting /chatting and becoming friend friends with everyone from all over the World ! (Beats International phone bills )
That’s the exact part I like for being here. I find something difference than what I have in real life.
The diversity of people here adds to my knowledge of their home country. Beats international phone bills is true…=D
👍👍
Naughty !
hApPy aNnIvErSaRy!
I think I’ve had this account 5 years and had another before that for 3-4 years.
Morning
Good morning!
Thank you for dropping in, Surrendah.
Happy Sunday…hehe
Happy Sunday, Murn!
I created my Disqus account in 2013 but didn’t really start using it until about 2 years ago when I found the channels.
I started on disqus house channels and left for the major channels like CNBC, CNN, etc. But I came back, now I’m the owner of two channels plus I operate a third for the daughter of a disqus friend who died.
I was just the opposite. I started commenting on the news sites first the discovered the channels by accident.
The house channels at first were really boring. That changed.
I got there kinda late. They had just stopped allowing new channels from being created when I got there.
I’m talking 2009-10.
I didn’t post comment right away after signing up on Disqus either.
Happy Sunday, Steven.
They’re all happy Murn! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bf7cb967fd0ebcf55ca2c453ca728f56ba026a8c01f781f8c1632345fc6f3d3c.jpg
Thank you.
That’s very true as yesterday was a history and tomorrow is a mystery so today is the only reality, the first day of our life….*Smile.
uh oh I can’t remember when I found Disqus hmmmm oh well itsa been a great place to hang out yep shore nuff and hope all have a wonderful day also woke up fell out of bed couldn’t find da comb to drag cross me head and it was an hour earlier than I thought yay
I agree, it’s been a great place.
I met many great people on Disqus and found knowledge from joining the talks on certain channels.
hey MC.. thats quite a journey. I initally created account back in 2012. Its been absentee, up and down kinda journey for me.
What is your experience. How would you rate your journey with Disqus.
Mostly it has been a good journey. I’ve picked up a few trolls over the years. Nothing I can’t handle.
Its hard to tell the diference between a troll … and the most awesome user of Disqus (me)
Hey little Brother…:))
I know you’ve been on and off.
I signed up in 2016 but kept taking long breaks too. But I’ve been staying more lately after creating the new site.
haha same dear sister.. I have been more active since 2016 🙂 But then took a break again.. These channel closure have brought me back to life and I am active again hehe
And it’s been more civil with more nice people on our new sites compared to just Disqus before. I guess being free was the different…hehe
hey i didnt get this notification. Disqus is really testing our patience.
Agreed. We have more upper hand now then with channels and its not like we didnt have this before, but being a web owner, you are not obliged to disqus for removing a troll.
Yesterday was more weird that I could only see notification from 21 days ago.
And today even now, I can only see a very few notification, otherwise most of them disappear.
Oh yes, that’s I definitely agree. It’s our home now and it’s not a train station where troll can shelter.
Good morning, @dash12345:disqus
Your post is here…:))
I’ll send the invites but I’ll have to go after that then come back later in my night.

Miss Murn, here is my new OP if you are interested:
–by Matthew Dunnyeg
One of the most common complaints I hear on Disqus is about being censored or banned for no apparent reason. A complaint by another poster is what prompted this OP.
Sometimes we are censored for relatively obvious reasons. While not all posting sites may directly state as much, the most obvious way to avoid being censored is to mind our manners and morals. This includes not being personaly abusive toward other posters, using vulgar or obscene language or images, not doxing others or ourselves, and stating what are considered to be obvious untruths as fact with no supporting evidence. But what happens when we adhere to this common sense attitude toward manners and still get censored?
Sometimes we get censored because of the intolerance of site owners for dissenting opinions. There is little that can be done about this other than finding another place to post and spreading word about this site’s intolerance. When this happens, instead of getting upset, we should be happy; it means the censor has no intelligent response to our arguments. This means we won.
But what happens when we mind our manners and morals, and the website is on the same side of the political fence we are? While stories about censorship are welcome on this OP, these mystery censorship incidents are what this OP is really all about. For example, many posting sites will have key words that will prompt automatic censoring. And since human censors either have bad attitudes or are bored, the chances of one of these posts being approved aren’t good.
Sometimes the keywords that prompt censoring software aren’t very obvious. Over at Breitbart, trying to be humorous with the obviously humorless, I wrote on an offshoring story that if congress is going to offshore our jobs, we should respond in kind by importing congressman for $150 a month from the Punjab. Guess what? That post was censored and it turns out that I was censored because I used “Punjab”, which is hardly an obvious choice. I know this because I reposted my comment changing every keyword except Punjab only to have my post censored again. My experiences have been even worse at other sites, and on both sides of the political spectrum.
So, what I would like to hear about are specific words that will get us censored at specific sites. There is no use writing up posts that aren’t going to be published. This OP will be published on several sites. If I get good enough responses, I will write up another OP with the results so we know what the rules of posting sites are even if they don’t have the courtesy to inform us about such things. If you have something to say on this matter, please let us hear from you.
the worst tyranny is when you are not told what the rules are that you must follow
franz kafka wrote a book about that
Miss Rose, giving citizens a sporting chance of not running afoul of the law by telling them what’s in the law dates back four thousand years. The Code of Hamurabi is one of the fundamentals of civilization.

Hamurabi had the laws of Babylonia recorded on stone not only so that everybody would know what laws they were expected to obey, but so that these laws couldn’t be quietly changed to suit those in power.
i find that very fair and i hope the world we live in will one day develop to the level of civilisation of Babylonia
Take it up with the Editor in Chief..
You are so good at commenting. I probably agree with ya on a whole lot more things but your Vocabulary is way over my head head most of the time. 🙂
Captain, that is always good advice. A good writer is one who can intelligently discuss complex matters. The best writers are those who can make the complex seem simple. It’s definitely something to aspire to.
Wouldn’t it be better to start your own discussion? Your topic would make a great discussion on it’s own page.
Exactly, I just edited my reply to him to say the same.
It’s a very well written OP.
Good morning, Mathew.
Please call me Murn…:))
Thank you for the beautiful writing.
edit.
Please try to make it on the “Start a Discussion” then submit it.
And I’ll publish it from the site and send the invites.
If I make the OP, my name will appear as the discussion maker although I will still write :by your name.
Very well. I did as you asked–I think. Let me know if there is a problem and I’ll try it again.
I saw it on the site.
What picture do you like to put in your OP?

I signed up here on April 3, 2016.
But i didn’t post comment right away, only started to comment on July. Then in September I created MNC. Quite a career on Disqus…=DD
May I post links to two of my non political channels?
Yes, please.
You are very welcomed to even make them discussions to introduce them.
I’ll publish them and send the invites.
I’ll do the links today and maybe later or next week, I’ll do the discussions.
Yes, whichever is best for you.
I’ll feature your comment with the links.
You’re so kind. Again thank you.
Don’t mention. it’s only a channel only for fun. Nothing is business here…:))
