Commenting on the Comments…
By Regarding the comments…
1. I do not remember choosing JS-Kit, or Echo. One morning I woke up and some new system was operating our comments; another day, I woke up and another system was operative. I am, however, guilty of being extremely lazy.
2. Although both JS-Kit and Echo have some features that I like (threading, the ability to see previous comments) I agree that neither are sufficient. I do think that people are remembering Haloscan with the halo of sentimentality; I remember losing lots of comments to it, having comments cut off, etc.
3. I am open to changing the system for the future, as long as the comments made in the past can be preserved. I kind of like this, which we’re using over at ID. Do folks have any particular thoughts or preferences regarding a new system?
