That's an interesting thought. At first, I was thinking what you were suggesting would be very Tumblr-like, but Disqus would centralize your comments elsewhere, and maybe you could opt to pull a subset in to make your new platform?

Precisely. Then add simple tools for categorisation, design customisation and so forth.

The point is that there are probably 10 active commentators for each active blogger. Perhaps Disqus is building towards a platform for people like this, who comment actively but who don't want or think they wouldn't be able to run their own blog.
