Meta: Keep the Current Commenting System?

If you’re an active commenter on 8Asians.com - all thirteen of you, I’m looking at you - you’ve noticed that for the past couple of weeks we’ve switched up our comments to use disqus. While there are some interesting benefits - threaded comments, the ability to rate particular ones, there are also some cons as well. So if you don’t mind, I’ve thrown an impromptu straw poll. Let me know, and if there’s an overwhelming preference either way, I’ll see what I can do. (If you’ve come here through Google, well, chances are you’re just reading a blog post on interracial dating and will just click on your back button anyway.)

   I see that wordpress comments are back. Are the old disqus comments gone forever?

   ancient one: They’re not gone forever per say, but they are surprisingly difficult, I am finding, to reintegrate back into Wordpress. -1 against disqus.
