disqus is a pretty awesome system as im sure you already know i used to use it on all my blogs now i am gravitating away from it because i dont have time to moderate it anymore.

Cool, I just implemented Disqus on my blog at http://www.cadfanatic.com/

I really like the capabilities it brings!

Interesting take on the community, I had not thought of it in that manner. I do admit though, It is interesting to see the comments/discussions a person has made here and there.

I agree with you on the discussions point, after seeing it working on Solidsmack I saw how much easier it is to follow everyone's input.

I also like the abiltiy to follow. Need to look into it a bit more and see what it can really do.

There were a couple of things. The biggest thing to me was the community approach. I like where they are going with the ability to view comments a person has made across multiple blogs on one page. This type of community linking will help connect more users and Bloggers in common discussions. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future.

The threaded view and ability to reply to a specific comment is REALLY nice. It's almost like having an integrated forum in your comment system! This also makes discussions easier to follow. To me Discus IS more of a Discussion system rather than a Comments system.

It's also easier for me to manage and integrates well with Wordpress. Hopefully it will lead to a better overall experience for users all around on this site.

Nice comments are better than nasty comments. Anyhow, what was the driving
force that caused you to switch to Disqus besides having to edit the
"unsuitable" comments?

Thanks for the nice comments Rod. It's pretty nice so far. If it makes things easier to manage on my end and more readable for the readers, then that's a win-win situation!

Great switch on the comments Ricky. I have enjoyed the Disqus system since Josh made the switch at Solidsmack. Much easier to read and add to each comment. I believe it also increases the participation also.

Here is what I said:

"When I posted with an alias to Ricky Jordon's blog I got a semi-honest answer about SolidWorks severe limitations with working with imported data. I posted there because Ricky Jordon did the best job of any SolidWorks blogger covering what was new in SolidWorks 2009. The guy hates me but here I am saying he did a really good job covering what was new in SolidWorks 2009"

Jon,

No...none of the "undesirable" comments were yours...just a lot of that stuff they sell in a can.
