I just worry about the facts that all comments are on their server. If they have a server problems, your comments are in trouble. Disqus is fine for me.

I placed it on my web site and I must say that it is very good. A lot of options and very easy to install. When I first saw the Disqused I loved it.

I, too, am thinking of integrating Disqus in my blog and just waiting to see feedback from users. So thanks. I'm with Jhay on this. Hi, Thanks for this post.

Perhaps more reviews from both sides of the fence would help me decide. Hmmm, to Disqus or not to Disqus, this is the question I’m facing right now.

Just addressing some things the previous commenter said. 1) JavaScript is used widely on the web. Google uses it. I understand those who may not have it enabled, but we heavily use this (almost) 15 year old web technology to enable a lot of rich interactions. >> Disqus will seem to hang when posting a comment with Javascript turned off, when in fact it is actually posting that comment multiple times. The longer you wait for it to do its thing, watching that little spinning graphic, the more times the comment will be posted. (in my case, a single comment was posted 4 times) Yes, JavaScript is required. No, it will not posted multiple times. Hi, Daniel from Disqus here.

I have an old slow computer, so to speed up browsing and to make things more secure, I surf with Javascript turned off, unless something occurs that lets me know it needs to be turned on to make a site work. 1. Disqus will seem to hang when posting a comment with Javascript turned off, when in fact it is actually posting that comment multiple times. The longer you wait for it to do its thing, watching that little spinning graphic, the more times the comment will be posted. (in my case, a single comment was posted 4 times) 2. If someone with an old slow computer like mine turns Javascript on, to avoid the multiple comment posting, the page is so slow it is basically unusable, except by those with plenty of time to waste and the patience of a saint. I now avoid Disqus pages, entirely. People with old slow computers are more patient than average, so understand that when I say the patience of a saint, I mean that it will take me longer than 1 hour to make a comment the same size as this one, on a Disqus page.
