They have an API that lets you access all your data. You can back it up nightly as XML files and just port it into something else if you ever want or need to.

- dasil003 18y agoMy comment was a little harsh. It's great that they offer that, and I'm probably rushing to judgement. But honestly the idea that at some point in the future when my site is humming along and I'm not thinking about it I'm going to have to drop everything and port the comments to a new system to avoid losing them makes me want to just implement my own comment system and be done with it.
- pclark 18y agoeasier said than done :) I believe if they were going to do something controversial (eg, close down / remove big features) they'd let us know in advance. They need me far more than I need them.
- compay 18y agoI don't think it was harsh, I think it's a good point. Like you said, you have to balance the convenience vs. the risk.
