disqus comment area can be smaller and prettier?

[bronson]

Is there a way to make disqus quieter? Its comment area is pretty nasty right now.

I'd like to add a comment box to every page on the site but only if it's small and understated, especially when there are no comments.

Also, requring a login is a problem... can we we enable anonymous commenting? And the comments are not googlable -- not on vim-scripts.org anyway.

Some alternatives from http://venturebeatprofiles.com/company/profile/disqus/competitors

• SezWho
• Tangler
• Intense Debate
• JS-Kit
• Kutano

This guy seems to have gone through them all and ened back with default wordpress + akismet.
