This is not a complete solution, but it is a good start. When you do an export from JComments that you intend to import to Disqus, a format change is required. This exe is designed to read one XML-file and write the data of that file in Disqus XML file.
Start from cmd.exe and pass a source file (must exist) and a destination file (will be overwritten) as arguments. Example:
jc2disqus.exe "c:\my_jc_file.xml" "c:\new_disqus_file.xml"
The program will ask you about a post link. Type something like this:
http://www.myblogg.com/?p=[ID]
Two escape codes are accepted. [ID] is replaced with the ID of the post and [CAT] is replaced with the parent ID of the post.
If you need to do adjustments, the Visual Basic source code can be found here.

Both are great commenting systems but Disqus is free and has a for posting comments automatically i.e. Uh oh .To save you some head-scratching Disqus claims to provide an auto-import feature the idea being you upload a file of comments from another provider with JS-Kit Echo their newest commenting service you can download an XML dump of all your comments and it pops all of those comments into Disqus good to go.
