I think Intense Debate has some real potential. I'm experiencing a few bugs, but they are working of getting it sorted out. It's beta!!

There are few features that are provided by plugins for the default system that I will be missing but hopefully they provide that functionality in the future.

This is a test comment for the Intense Debate comment system that I am beta testing here on Average Joe Blogger.

Feel free to test out the comments yourself and let me know your thoughts.

Josh: I sent you an a few minutes ago. I would love to try out the system.

This new commenting system looks wonderful. I've signed up for the beta test and I am anxiously awaiting.

One question I do have is how does this comment system work with other comment oriented plugins? I am running on WordPress and have plugins like the "Top Commentators", "Recent Comments" and "Comment Relish". Will this system break those plugins?
