I see what you are saying, but that is not the result I have observed. Most sites that I have seen using disqus don't have a lot of comments, or they at least not a lot of valuable comments. The best commented sites I have seen have been basic wordpress sites. I don't think that means that people like to make a new login for each site, I think it means that there is more to creating a contributing community on your blog than lowering the barrier to entry.

Sure, starting a real conversation will always be left to the writer. But there have been plenty of times when I've wanted to contribute something but couldn't be bothered because I'd have to return to site for the next few days to check for replies. While I may do that on HN (like right now) I won't normally do that for Joe Random Blog.
