I have experimented with Intense Debate for a while now, as their commenting system looks tremendously promising. They have just been acquired by Automattic, the wordpress people.
It comes as a plug-in that syncs the comments on any given blog with their servers. Some sort of automated comment back-up, I guess. The plug-in features comment threading (comments appear as conversations, like in Gmail, not as chronological lists), replying to comments by email and importing and exporting comments to other commenting systems. So far so good. I really like it.
However, there does not appear to be a CSS file and it actually says on their website that they don’t recommend messing around with the CSS as the plug-in is in active development.
As Hugh has already pointed out, the design looked a little messed up. Thanks to Enzo, who suggested a small addition to our own little stylesheet, this issues has now been resolved and the comments no longer break the layout of the website.
So, no excuses, knock yourself out comment away.
