Sometimes i find it had to reply to every comment on my site. MY pligg has over 1700 comments on it and my forum has just started. Plus i have a job i just don't have time to reply to absolutely everyone on my site. Let alone my twitter account and other social sites i am a part of. It would be a full time job if i replied to absolutely everyone it might even be 2 full time jobs. I try and reply as much as possible but sometimes i just don't have the time.

No problem. It’s how I reply to most of the comments on the blog. It makes it a lot easier because you don’t have to jump around your blog looking for new comments to reply to.

Agreed, nesting comments are a community concerend blogger’s that likes to keep up with his readers best friend.

I’d also like to share on little bad commenting experience I had. I run a music blog; info on artist, music vids, music gear, stuff like that. Well I had made a post about T.I.‘s new video, and I recieved a comment on it. The blogger who commented to notify that he followed my blog and wanted me to follow his blog in exchange. Not on topic at all really, could have been sent in a simple e-mail, rather than a post about T.I.

So just throwing my thought out here, comments like this make it sort of frustrating for a blogger. I thought I was going to engage in a conversation about the music vid and all I got was a notification about blog following. It’s good to stay on topic!

Haha, if you look through some of our past posts you will see we have had been “@” replying people. This isn’t Twitter, it’s a blog! You have to get detailed and talk to people where they will actually see it.

We just recently changed our comments into nested. So far, i have loved it! I am still figuring out how to customize them (I’d like to change some of the colors in the deep conversations).

I love nested comments. When you actively try and respond to the majority of comments you receive, nesting them is the ONLY option. At first I was responding with the usual;
@comment #1
@comment #2
etc.

It just doesn’t work very well.

Oh, one more thing, care to install “Subscribe to Comments” here? I have a hard time trying to keep track of my comments here. Forgive me if I don’t response to yours soon enough.

Well said, Alex.

And I do notice that you’re now replying to all the comments you get here at Blogussion. Well done and that’s the basic trait of a blogger who puts his readers (or commenters) first above anything else.
