Bye Bye Intense Debate

As you may already have noticed, I abandoned Intense Debate and switched back to the default WordPress commenting system (with some nifty plugin features).

Sure, it may look less “sexy”, but at the end of the day, Intense Debate was chewing up too many of your comments or sporadically sending them to moderation for no apparent reason. In short, Intense Debate was too intense and too little debate. And I haven’t even mentioned the effect it had on post loading times.

But I am curious. Have I made the right decision in your eyes?

Do you prefer this commenting system to Intense Debate?

I am also interested in getting your feedback in the comments (!) regarding which commenting features you like, and which features you think would improve the commenting experience even more.

  1. Intense Debate was buggy and, at times, frustrating to deal with. I hope WordPress is more reliable. One area of improvement I would like to see in the Comments Section, is an increase in the number of commenters who express agreement in the points I have made in my own comments. This would result in a much more satifactory IsraellyCool experience for me.

    1. I looked into it, and even tried to export my comments to it. But the export did not work well. Besides, I figure using the WP system will make the site load faster.

  2. oh thats why it looks so weird. I like ID better, but yea it did have a lot of problems and slowed the pages. But Im down to give it a shot
