These are 2 plugins that every blog must have, comments are a vital part of your blog it’s alot like user contributed content, every bit of it matters, to have a good commenting system you can either pay a coder to make an expensive
With this top commentor’s widget you can give your visitors an incentive to comment more on your blog, in return for comments they get links on your site for a defined number of time, to be honest it’s really good to grow traffic towards your blog because there are alot of “top commentor widget blog” lists around the net you might just make your way into them and after that there are alot of comments just waiting approval.
The Top Commentators Widget a sidebar widget to show the top commentators in your WP site. Adapted from Show Top Commentators plugin at Personal Financial Advice, this widget is easier to manage via the control form (no need to edit the PHP file); additional options are also available to make it more flexible. Read the FAQ section on how to customize the widget, and take a look at the screen shot to see the control form for customizing the Top Commentators Widget.
Now this is what I’m really excited about, it gives you a whole new commenting system that looks great as well, it can be used in literally any theme you have all you need to do is install it’s plugin and register on their site, after that your blog’s comment will not only be registered on your site but their’s as well!

I use Top Commentators plugin on 2 of my blogs, and they are a great success. My posts have gotten some serious debates with this. And I got few friends online, which is a great thing when you think how easy it is to get a plugin and install it.

Based on your review and some others I came across today, I decided to give the Top Commentators plugin a try. Thank you for the tip!

I was using the same Top Commentators plugin and found that, even with Hijack Proof turned on, you could still hijack links on the two blogs I tested it on. There's a fix and I posted about it here:

I think Gravatar is really essential because it increases the power of blogging in general. One can stay constant all places and keep going. One change is needed to change every place in internet. I love the plugin.

I like the idea of the top commentator widget but sometimes commentators are just so abusive that I hate to see them playing with it.
