New Commenting System And Forum

Ok this post deviates from the usual topic in this blog, ie about games.

Hot on the heels of discovering a new and exciting commenting system which I implemented in my main blog, I discovered another one, called Disqus, which I thought is pretty cool too. After learning as much as I could about this new one, I wish I had discovered Disqus earlier.

It’s not that Intense Debate is bad, just that Disqus appears to have more features, and it comes with a forum too, FREE, for each blog/URL you register with them! In fact, Disqus claims it can be used with any website, and give commenting abilities to websites which originally were not designed to support commenting or discussions (such as Tumblr).

So, excitedly, in the middle of the night, I implemented Disqus on this blog. If you look at the picture below, you can see that I have added a new link to the header navigation bar to the new forums at Disqus:

If you click on that link, it will bring you to the forum, which looks like this:

I’m hoping that you, the reader, will hopefully be more engaged and start discussing and writing about games and hardware in the brand new forums. I didn’t disallow non-registered users (ie not registered on Disqus.com) to post comments on this blog, so it should also be the same over at the forums.
