A little housekeeping post today to say that the Disqus comment system has been removed from the site, and we’re back to regular WordPress comments.
I’ve had Disqus running on this site for a couple of years, but many people do not like it as it forces you to sign in with social media. It does a great job of keeping spam comments at bay, but overall I think it was holding back discussion on the site. I’d rather sort out spam on a daily basis, and hear you guys interacting on the posts! So please, drop us a line to say hi! Leave some comments on the posts and let’s generate some useful discussions. Thanks!

Totally agreed Dan,
When I see that the site has a Disqus system, I don’t even bother to comment.
As a site owner, you choose the burden on comments, to you or to you audience.

Funny thing is that I’ve had several annoyed people tell me that they think this is a bad idea and they hate WP comments. Can’t please everyone I guess! 🙂
