Thinking about moving comments to Disqus

As it seems like a much more functional and rich comment system. I'd bring all the existing comments over as well, but I wanted to know if anyone had strong views on the idea.

If you want to take a look at Disqus, it's here. All views welcome.

I think it would be a good idea, the comment system often times doesn't work properly on the mobile version of your site, and it would be nice to be logged in and stay logged in— I think you might see more comments this way.

Also, there are too many anonymous posts here and no accountability. Just like this one. :)

No pkease, disqus is acting very slow and unstable where i live (Vietnam)

I think disqus is a good idea, however if you link your twitter account to disqus it will not work properly in iOS. You must create a separate disqus profile. I don't know if disqus is going to fix it or not, but it's annoying because I prefer using my twitter account for disqus and I cannot if I am using my idevices.

I like being Anonymous, and not because I'm a troll, but because I take personal comments very much to heart, and like the fact that people can't tell me from the next Anonymous. I will not be signing up if I have to use an alias. I love Palm Sounds, and will continue to browse the site compulsively, but will stop commenting if I can't be anon. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Ps. mobile version works fine for me, most of the time I browse and comment on iPad, and it works great.
I also don't have a Facebook or Twitter profile, and never intend to have one.

I'd watch out for Disqus and Intensedebate.

The benefit is slightly faster comment loading and a few features, but there are downsides, especially duplicate comments and less control over spam filtering.

Research these things on the Net and make sure you understand the pros and cons.
