Google+ Comments FAQs - Blogger Help: "What happens if I disable Google+ Comments? If you disable Google+ Comments, comments made by Google+ users during the time that the feature was enabled will disappear from your blog. All other comments (those made by readers before you enabled the feature) will remain."Well ain't that a ... $!+&# I want to go back to using +Disqus , but I can't without losing comments on posts that actually had G+ integrated comments. Then again, not that many people comment lately.

I thought it would be cool to have G+ comments because then the conversation can take place in at least two arenas. But I haven't been getting email notifications of people commenting on my posts, and how lame is it that a workaround is to subscribe to the comments on my own site (which doesn't work, by the way. Just tried it) And comment moderation had disappeared, WTF +Blogger ?! The way the FAQ explains it, one would think that you would see both Comments and G+, but you don't. You get one or the other.
Oddly enough, because people don't comment a lot, this was brought to my attention by someone who was waiting for a reply and I went looking through my email for a notification and ... nada. And then I went further back and ... wow, I have a few people to reply to on my blog and not a single email notification nor G+ notification on my shared post or my G+ Blog page. This is beyond unsatisfactory. And nothing in the forums either. It's a known issue that G+/Blogger refuse to work on.
So ... I'm going back to Disqus just as soon as I can.
