In reply to Danny Brown.

Hey Danny,

I just published a post on the backstory behind WP Tavern making the switch to Postmatic for both front-end and email commenting. It sheds some light on the problems the Tavern was having with performance, trolls, and engagement... and what we did to fix each.

I did notice that as of now you can subscribe to a weekly WP Tavern digest which is served up via Postmatic. You can find a subscribe box in the sidebar there.
