Regarding going with a hybrid approach to commenting (half Wordpress and half Disqus), that just seems kind of untidy. Would rather wait on the import tool. Look forward to seeing what you have in store. Thanks for the comment. Regarding going with a hybrid approach to commenting (half Wordpress and half Disqus), that just seems kind of untidy.

Thanks a bunch for the writeup! The list of cons you list is a good one -- we've definitely been spending time addressing each of those things. 1. You can choose to leave historical comments as they are (untouched). Importing is a touchy functionality that we want to make sure to get right. We think it's the right move as well. 2. As a 3rd party service, we're going to earn the trust of users the old fashion way -- by being reliable and performing well. So far, so good. 3. Can't say much about this right now, but I wish I could divulge a bit about the cool stuff we're working on. You'll just have to wait and see. :-) Cheers! Hi Todd,
