[Outcome of the experiment here](http://www.avclub.com/article/lets-try-out-potential-new-commenting-system-updat-232413)

I still think the AV Club would be a good get for Discourse as a conversation platform, but I wonder the extent to which it can handle the brutal load the site would put on it. In any case it might be interesting to scan that thread and look at pain points the users found when trying to use spot.im.
