But for my wordpress blog, I prefer native comments as it removes the dependency to a third party service
- mkr-hn 15y agoThe Disqus plugin for WordPress can sync comments to your database. That way you still have your comments if Disqus goes down, or you decide not to use it. I still go with native because I prefer the way it looks. :)
- v33ra 15y agoHmm. Is the Disqus plugin capable of automatically falling back to native Wordpress commenting in the case of Disqus down? If so, the authors need not panic even if Disqus down.
- level09 15y agothat seems like something you can easily implement on your end, not the disqus end.

- mkr-hn 15y agoYou can disable the plugin if Disqus goes down long enough to matter and resync later.
- v33ra 15y agoAgreed. It's a simple task from my end to disable the Disqus plug-in during the downtime. But what if the service goes down during the night time where I might not be able to immediately login to my wordpress and disable the Disqus plug-in until next morning? Wouldn't be nice if the plug-in automatically takes care of itself, rather than manual intervention?
