 * I’m not quite sure who’s decision it was to output the comments into the post
   content instead of replacing the comments_template filter with add_filter.
 * I’ve read through a few support requests and see that something to this effect
   has already been requested but was wondering if this will be implemented anytime
   soon? Or if not, which function can I use with add_filter(‘comments_template’)
   in order to get the comments to display where normal WP comments are.
 * Basically comparing post date to a certain date and if post is older it shows
   Disqus comments and if newer it shows Facebook comments.
