- romain_g 14y agoAwesome post indeed, thanks!
- mapleoin 14y agoSince you're here. Could you fix that broken link to Bradford Cross's blog in the original post? You got me interested, but I can't find his blog.
- nathanmarz 14y agoLooks like he took down his blog – a shame, since there were a lot of really good posts on it.
- ericlavigne 14y agoHe's probably chosen to focus on his company's blog instead. http://blog.getprismatic.com/ http://blog.getprismatic.com/
- wslh 14y agoCould you reopen the discussion thread there? I was trying to reply to a comment but then realized that was closed! I don't get closed comment threads.
- pekk 14y agoHave you seen the kinds of tripe that people leave in comments?
- untog 14y agoI set comment threads to close on my blog because after maybe a week the only submissions I get are attempts at spam.
- wslh 14y agoMy experience is different. I don't receive a lot of spam with Disqus. If I disable it I receive 10s of spam posts everyday. I prefer to leave blog threads open since I don't know when people will find my sites and contribute. Except for posts really connected to a specific event, technical posts has a larger life.
- greggman 14y agoSame for me. I've got topics 12+yrs old still open on Disqus (the topics started before disqus and comments were imported when I switched). I get very little spam (knock on wood) I dislike closed comments though sometimes I have to remind people to look at the date of the post :-p
