System was down last week; have a message that keeps telling me the installation is out of date and to visit the Disqus blog for an update but when I visit the blog I can't see any info about an update; there is a forum but I don't have time to read through all the posts to see if someone else is having this problem. But what really bothers me is that in using Disqus I'm evidently handing over my comments to their database. So I've decided to switch back to the regular WordPress system.

Likely more the fault of the themes than anything else though I'm using it on my blog as well – the only irritating thing I've noticed is that some themes do not play well with the comments (showing comment counts, links to comments form, etc).
