To change or not to change to Intense Debate?

Question: I'm thinking of changing up my commenting system here on the ol' blog. I really like the interaction with Intense Debate. Does anyone have any horrible issues with Intense Debate?

  1. It worked well for me back when I used it, but there were some rather annoying importing/exporting issues. I don't think you could import Intense Debate comments if you were to switch back to the native Blogger system later (unless they made major changes recently). If you think you may return to the native comments later, consider Disqus, they post the comments to Blogger in the background, so you'll have them just in case.
    But overall: Intense Debate worked fine and it's all about you feeling comfortable with how your blog works.

    1. Thank you! I changed my comment system once before, but I don't remember to what! Hahaha! Still looking into it!

  2. If you change, I'll be curious to hear your feedback. I have been thinking about coming off of Blogger as well, mostly because I'm tired of getting emailed every time a spam comment comes in, which lately has been 8-10 a day!

    1. You should do it for the same reason I posted below. I don't get emailed if you reply to my comments on your blog! Disqus and ID email commenters when the original poster replies. :D

  3. Yes. Do it. Or Disqus. The comments you have now don't tell me (and probably others) when you reply to our comments!!! Intense Debate and Disqus emails your fans when you've replied! :D

  4. I'm thinking about switching to Intense Debate too, but I'm scared to lose my old comments!

  5. Disquis is awesome because you can respond to comments directly from your email
