I agree that Disqus is clunky. It can be done better though. You can see better integration on say YouTube video comments (comments refresh when changing pages) and CNN videos (list of videos below refreshes based on category you pick).

This can be done. A potential problem that I see here is the bi-directional synchronization. A version upgrade on either Midgrad or vBulletin can easily create potential problems. I am for bridging systems but the lesser functionality on the bridge component, the better.

Going back to quim's main post, what is stopping us on dropping the current Midgrad comment system and moving all the discussion (news, downloads, brainstorm) in Talk?
