Haloscan being turned into pay service. I hope to replace it with Disqus

It seems that Haloscan, which I've used for almost 4 years now, is going to be discontinuing its free services as JS-Kit, the company that took them over, turns them into a new pay per service called Echo. And since I cannot afford to pay almost 10 bucks for the new system - a real ripoff price IMO - that's why I'll be trying to see if I can replace Haloscan with Disqus, another free commenting service, or even Intense Debate, if they also have free accounts.

I hope I can import/export all the comments I have in Haloscan to another service I'll get, but there's no telling for now if I can. I'll try to spend time working on it tomorrow, and hope I can get the changes in gear accomplished as best as possible.

I think the exact description of the case is to import the Haloscan comments into the new system you'll be subscribing to.

As for me, I failed miserably to get a new one installed, so it looks like it's back to the old Blogger comments for now.

I posted a description of my personal migration from haloscan to disqus, maybe it will help: http://lateral.netmanagers.com.ar/weblog/posts/BB856.html

It's quite technical though.
