AmazingFacts

AmazingFacts consists of around a dozen separate sites and communities, for which they use FastComments. Using a custom integration with WordPress, they collect a high volume of anonymous comments which are moderated daily with a group of moderators.

I tested out several other systems and they just weren't cutting it. They were either missing functionality that we needed or were too expensive or just not intuitive enough. Honestly what sold it for me was the support. You guys are very responsive to our needs. That's awesome :)
