That was my initial thought and I still feel that way

I know I am late to this discussion...way way way late but I found you through Disqus. I just installed it today on my blog and LOVE it. I am still learning so I don't a wish list or bug catcher yet. But my initial thoughts are that it is wonderful.

I've been running Disqus on a few sites. I really like it, it solves a number of problems that I've had with comments in the past. Plus it can be easily plugged into any site - doesn't have to be a blog. I can't really say enough good things.

However, I don't love the comment form at the top... i think it drops the actual comments below the fold.

I also think that when a site runs a ton of javascript (ahem... fred wilson), it makes reading the comments difficult because it doesn't quite load until all the other javascripts have loaded. That's not disqus' fault, though.

Anyways, Disqus guys are quite good. I'd pay for this stuff if they weren't giving it away.

Totally!

Fred, do you think you'd add Disqus to your Tumblr blog too? They now have integration, but I'm wondering if you want your Tumblr to be free of commenting.

After I created the account, uploaded the pic, put some info in, I hit save and it stayed on that page. I looked for a button/link that said 'back to original post' or something like that but could not find it. I then went back to the blog site by opening a new page in IE 7 and tried to leave a comment but it didn't recognize me. I hit log in to comment and the screen just refreshed and nothing happened. I then went back to Disquis, logged out, then back to AVC, and then hit log in to comment, logged in, and only then was able to leave a comment. Hope that helps...

We support WordPress: http://disqus.com/create

If you created a login from this page, you should have been properly redirected after creating the account. If this is a bug, we'll fix it.

Normally, I shy away from anything that asks me to create a username and password but since you asked so nicely I have created an account. It took me a bit to find my way back to the blog and post but I somehow figured it out.

By the way, liked your post on The Lead Investor.

Question: Does Disquis work on Wordpress blogs?

Another question: What do the points mean? If I leave great comments and get a bunch of points will I eventually win something?

Thanks for this comment

Fred, I owe you. You were the first person that introduced me to Disqus. Like you, I also run typepad and wasn't happy with the comments system.

Ever since I installed Disqus my average number of comments per post has gone way up. And since I can reply by email to comments, I use my BlackBerry to reply to readers who I normally wouldn't have gotten to.

If you're a moderator of a forum, you can delete the post from your dashboard or when viewing a comment. Mouse over the avatar for the menu to popup and choose "Remove Post". On other forums, you may edit your post if it's within an allotted amount of time.

Is there a way to delete posts?

I'd generally agree with you...the only exception being MySpace's ability to teach kids that such a thing as "HTML" exists and changing "HTML code" can make their profiles sexier. And honestly, integrating a lot of these new services isn't much harder than copy pasting HTML.

The bigger question is the need. The more the need for something, the more the users are willing to learn to use your service. Going back to myspace...13 year old girls are all about spicing up their myspace page even if it means pasting some weird set of characters.

If I'm understanding you correctly, we do already support this.

You can create as many forums (and subsequently integrate as many comment systems) under a single account as you wish.

Any plans to allow one account to have multiple sites under it for commenting?
