On Monday evening, I received an email from [email protected] stating that they are suspending all Disqus services to Return Of Kings starting on October 20, 2017. Here is the full email:

Hi there,

We wanted to reach out to inform you that your site has been found to be in conflict with the terms of use of Disqus. Because of this, Disqus is unable to offer your site continued discussion services past the end of this week.

Site activity or content that can result in the termination of discussion services include:

– Featuring copyrighted material, which results in DMCA takedown requests.

– Adult-oriented sites containing illegal content which result in abuse complaints, users with inappropriate avatars or behavior visiting other Disqus sites in an unwelcome way, or are otherwise misusing Disqus services.

– Using Disqus on pages that contain hate speech, which violates Disqus’ Terms of Service and results in abuse complaints.

Additional information on these Basic Rules may be found here: https://help.disqus.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1943775-basic-rules-for-disqus-powered-sites

Please be advised that discussion services for the shortname “returnofkings” will be terminated on October 20th, 2017 for one or more of the above reasons.

To help your site prepare for this change, we recommend the following:

Export your comments

Comment exporting is available in the Admin Panel at https://returnofkings.disqus.com/admin/discussions/export/) and will be available until 30 days after termination. More information on exporting is available here: https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472149

If you have any issues exporting your comments, please let us know by replying to this email.

Sync your comments

If you use WordPress, make sure all Disqus comments are synced back to the native comment platform within WordPress. More information is available here: https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/663782

Migrate to a new commenting system

Disqus will no longer load on your site after October 20th, 2017. To ensure uninterrupted discussion, we recommend selecting and installing an alternate commenting system prior to the end of the week.

We hope this helps you prepare your site and community for this change. If you have any questions, please let us know by replying to this email.

Thank you for your time and attention,
