Moved my 41400 Comments into Disqus

Boy, was I freaked out about not wanting to implement a new comment system on my blog. I have over 41,000 comments here. Do you think I want to lose even one precious word you’ve written back to me over the years? No. That’s the short answer. So I have put off moving to a commenting platform for a long time.

I’ll be honest, what got me to convert was that Giannii from Disqus did the conversion for me while I squirmed and winced and looked between splayed fingers, hoping against hope that it would go okay.

And now? It’s over. I’m there. I’m on their commenting platform.

But why? WordPress has a perfectly good commenting system. The answer is two fold: flexibility and searchability. The tools allow users and me to do more with commenting, and they also make it much easier to search the comments and for the comments to be found floating out on other platforms for better discovery.

I’m excited. I’m in. I’m happy with the service and with Giannii’s (and team’s) help.

Worth a look-see.

As far as commenting system is concerned Disqus is the best platform to comment because of social attraction and lively respond.

sooner or later DISQUS, Gravatar and all other comment systems are going to be replaced by Facebook. Market consolidation will always happen in a mature market and I believe comments market is now mature!

For me . Disqus comment system was the best.

It can easily detect some spammer and they can also control the flow of comments.
Very much reliable and trust worthy.

The
laboratory and healthcare setting is a unsafe place to work. perilous materials
can be simply embrace when one strides through any laboratory doors. The use of
several perilous materials in the healthcare and research laboratories,
including research chemicals are hollering for potential hazards to workers,
patients, the public and the setting. The countless uses of research chemicals
have been found to be a grand help to any laboratory associate but it cannot be
avoided that it also have the capability to cause not deliberate harm to
people, creatures, and objects in the environment. It is incredibly significant
to know what to look for when obtaining identifying or when you buy research
chemicals UK produces, and what to look out for when using them.

Interesting. I am also trying to decide whether I should cross-over to Disqus or not. If there is a way to move your comments to Disqus, is it also possible to move it back along with the comments posted through Disqus should I happen to change my mind?

I’m pondering over the choice of these “social” commenting plugins and think they actually add a lot of value
