Ckimate Progress restores commenting system and all past 5 years of comments

[bananas]

When Climate Progress moved to Think Progress, they messed up the commenting system,
switching to a facebook commenting system and losing all the old comments.

There was a lot of good info in those old comments, they've all been restored,
and they've switched back to a wordpress commenting system.

Climate Progress 5.0: A New Comments System
By Joe Romm on Aug 24, 2011 at 5:36 pm

As Climate Progress approaches its 5th anniversary, we are (slightly) upgrading the website one more time. We are restoring Word Press commenting — and all of CP’s original comments.

<snip>

After much discussion here at CAPAF, we are restoring Word Press commenting for CP — with some new features such as nested comments. You can use HTML. You won’t need an ID to comment. I still prefer non-anonymous commenters, but nom de plumes will be allowed. First-time commenters will have to go through moderation (once). Others won’t, as long as they meet the terms of use (and don’t get tripped up by the spam filter, by, say, trying to post too many links). I still urge people not to come here and try to spread disinformation — there are plenty of sites on the bunkosphere for that.

UPDATE: “Preview” has been enabled!

Readers also wanted an easier way to sign up for my RSS feed. Now that is much simpler. Clicking on the icon in the upper right hand corner. You can also join the 6,600 people who get my e-mail every day at 1 PM EST by signing up on the right.

Finally, people tell me they’d like easier access to my archive of posts on climate science and the like. I promise to set up posts that are mini-archives of core issues like “ocean acidification” and “food insecurity” — as well as one grand archive when I have completed the mini-archives. This will take a while, but I hope to finish by year’s end.

Thanks for doing this! So many sites require you to be part of the Borg, I was just resigned to being silent. Thanks for giving me a voice on your sight.

I sure hope this means you will be restoring your outstanding library of previous posts. Thanks for all your work on the new format.

JR: All previous comments from the past 5 years are restored. The old posts themselves are there but admittedly they can be hard to find. I am committed to creating accessible archives, even if it takes me several months.
