I’ve implemented this plugin in this blog today. From the description by the owner, we can say that this plugin will encourage more discussion from your readers by displaying their names (linked to their website if desired) and number of comments they have made recently to your wordpress loop. The reader who gives the higgest number of comment will make it to the top of the list.
Encourage more discussion from your readers, by displaying their names (linked to their website if desired) and number of comments they have made recently to your sidebar.
This is extremely useful for bloggers like me to have more opinion on an issue. For the readers, they will get free traffic and backlink (which is good for seo) for their website or blog. You can either customize it to display only in the front page or in every pages of your website. Here is how I did it. Another core settings modification can be refer from the plugin’s homepage.

I also use this plug-in
From what I can see your Top Commenter plug-in also count your own comment. You should add some option to avoid counting your own comment 
I believe they can be set some how. Another plug-in that cool to implement is Random Post plug-in. Try it 
You can download it from my blog.

is that usefull or not? i cant understand difference these “externalnofollow”, “nofollow” extrenal nofollow is useful for pr?

kitap, links with ‘nofollow’ attribute not considered by search engines

Yes, I love this plug-in. It brings back the dynamic aspect that blogs are supposed to have. With so many spam comments (even if you use akismet), this helps to let the real comments rise above all the other noise.
FYI - Links with the “nofollow” attribute are still followed and tracked by Google and Yahoo. Just no “link juice” is passed.

I love this plugin. I just installed it on my site, and gave it a little write-up on my own site. I see that you also have the “subscribe” plug-in..Every blogger should use these. Well, I’m off to read more articles about anything lol.

Have just installed this plugin - hope to get at least some discussion since the blog is ‘brand new’

I don’t get it. You put up the top commenter but you still have nofollow on your comments. If you rewarded everyone for their comments then you would keep me active on your site. There are so many dofollow directories that you can then promote to.

It’s pretty much confirmed at this point that Ross is moving back to Raw in the near future. It’s not the first time that Vince has swallowed his pride about Ross’s commentary.

I think Todd Grisham is taking Adamle’s place, or at least it seemed that way on Raw. I have no idea why else he’d pop up. I really wish they’d put Joey Styles back on ECW, or give Josh Matthews a shot.
