Disqus Boards

Your readers want a place to talk. Give them one.

Disqus Boards is a community forum built exclusively for Disqus for Business and Preferred publishers living directly on your site, separate from comments, always on, and built to keep readers coming back.

WHY BOARDS

Comments end when the article does. Boards doesn't. 

We built Boards because publishers kept asking for the same thing: a way to keep readers on their site after they've finished reading. This is it. 

RETENTION

A Reason to Come Back 

Comments live and die with articles. Boards gives your audience a permanent home where discussions can exist between stories, not because of them.

 

OWNERSHIP

Your Site, Not Ours

Boards runs on your domain with your branding. No split identity. Your readers never leave.  

SEPARATION 

Distinct From Comments

Comments react to content. Boards is a place to create it. Both experiences stay clean and purposeful. 

MODERATION

Full Control

Built on Disqus' proven moderation infrastructure. Categories, queues, bans, everything you already know, now for a forum.

MONETIZATION

New Ad Inventory 

Every Boards page is an engaged, high-dwell surface. Disqus serves ads directly. Which means more pageviews, more revenue, same readers.  

FAMILIARITY  

Zero Learning Curve 

Readers sign in with their existing Disqus account. No new passwords, no new profiles. They're already home. 

HOW IT WORKS

Simple to install. Up and running fast.  

Getting Boards running is a two-part handoff. Our team handles the backend, you handle a single snippet.
