No money changed hands for VB Allen. Just were impressed by the system.

True, but Disqus doesn’t ever think I’m a spammer. ;)

It seems pretty evil to me — it’s stealing page views from the publisher who installs them.

Hey Allen and others,

Of course, this wasn’t (and isn’t) our intention. It looks like you’ve pointed out an oversight. Thanks.

You’ll see the fix later today.

Hope to see that fixed, I’m a disqus user b/c I can’t run database backed / sophisticated scripts on my (free) filespace provided by my university. Disqus comes in handy for that.

I was about to use Disqus when I stumbled upon your post. Now I have second thoughts about it.

So, what’s the final vote then? Should we use Disqus or not?
