Dumping Intense Debate

By Daniel Miessler on November 19th, 2007: Tagged as Blogging

As some know I’ve been trying out this new comment system called Intense Debate. The system actually loads a separate page from the Intense Debate site and has tons of features, most important of which is threading. But evidently they don’t have the ability to take a full-on social networking denial of service attack.

I was getting dugg yesterday when I got an email from a member of the development team. He said my post that was being dugg was causing their whole site problems, so he disabled the comments on it.

Uh, not good. Basically, you can use their system as long as you don’t post anything really popular. So today I’m going back to native comments.

Which means the regular old peanut gallery will post again!

BTW. You may want to take div#sidebar < div#container < body < html ‘s width towards 130px from 160 px. The ul dots are getting into the comment field ( you may have made that tweak for the ID engine? ).

Finally dude… loading another script from another website isn’t good, especially when it’s your entire comment functionality. pfft.

now that’s not fair. They are still a new company and can’t handle that much traffic yet! It’s not their fault. Give the new guy a break!

Glad to hear it, I have to admit I wasn’t that keen on ID to be honest; relying on Javascript to load comments from an external source seems like a nasty idea (and meant the comments + comment form were completely missing for me, until I set NoScript to allow them through).
