Thanks to the development team! This is by far one of the best (free) plugins I've ever downloaded! Even your marketing strategy is perfect. Give people something they can use that has real value and offer them additional functionality. You guys are the best and deserve more than the 5 star rating I am giving you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys for the oportunity to have such a nice and powerfull commenting system on my WordPress website. It has ten times more features that I need for supper discussion section for my news website. I cannot beleave this plugin is free. You guys did a great job and this was suprized me a lot!

I debated for a long time whether to use this supplement I don't like their politics. I tested it for a long time on the server, not online. I see the insincerity of this addition. I would love to support him with money, but not on these terms. You have subscriptions from your readers - you don't have access to them, you don't even know whether bots are starting to send you messages. Because it's a secret - until you buy the add-on for a year with a view of such a list. There is a subscription importer from another add-on, but it doesn't export susbkrsubscriptions? Like rating entries - but there is no insight into the ratings of entries. Everything seems to be there - but in the end you have to buy everything because it is not completely integral. The help on this forum is also very poor, invitations to register on their additional forum and provide your additional data there. Personally, I think this is disingenuous. Wpdiscuz is nice and pretty, but it's a bit clumsy and terrible - there are no color settings, only poor settings and everything has to be adjusted manually. Which doesn't quite work properly either. It's a good addition but without any sincere intentions to make it a good product for people just for the money. One that particularly enforces access to subscriptions, perhaps comment security (although I see these fields in the free version as well). And it's terribly clumsy, but it's less of a problem than dishonesty - I'd love to import the data, please, but export it and not not - it's time to give me some money and stay with us.
