Daniel Scocco of DailyBlogTips.com has released a very useful wp plugin called My Top Commentators. This plugin will show your top commentators under your Dashboard for different periods: Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, Current Month, Last Month, Current Year, Last Year or a Custom Period. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Because as you know I publish list of top commentators at the end of each month. And there was one time when I missed one month’s top commentators, because, I forgot to save the names of the top commentators before the counter was reset to zero (it does so at the beginning of each month).
But now with this plugin all I need to do is to just select “Previous Month” from the drop down menu!

Even if you do not publish top commentators on your blog, this plugin will allow you to identify who are your blog’s regular commenters. And eventually you will be able to get to know them personally. Enjoy!

At first I thought it was like the one in your sidebar, but after reading about it and trying it out, I would recommend it to everyone that has and blog and would like to network/reward his most active readers.
Very useful plugin. Need to download them asap.
Statistics is what drives the effective functioning of a website. This will also aid in identifying spammers…
that is pretty cool…it would even be better if it could be shown on particular archive month
Thats a great product. I use top commentators but I didn’t think I needed something like this until you just mentioned it. Great plugin, just off to download.
My blogs are under developed and I am still using blogger (hangs his head in shame (: ), so I am fairly limited on commentator plugins. Need to make the switch to Worpress when I get some time.
Really a cool WP Plugin!
It provides all the details about commentators by just pointing mouse over them. I need to install on my own blog too.
Thanks Ades!
Nice plugin. I have a wordpress blog, and I am gonna use it.
Wow, I love you blog, I have really learned a lot from reading all of your posts. I subscribed to your feed, and I look forward to continually reading quality posts. Maybe when you get a chance you could check out my blog.
thanks,

I have just started blogging and am yet to get people to comment except the first well wishers. I have put in a plug for the top commentators and will put this in too when and if traffic increases
this plug in look great…i must try it soon!!
I dont have my own blog. I always thought this is how it was on your admin.
It sounds like it’s sleeting, but every time I turn on the outside light & look, nothings happening.
Top Commentators widget is a really cool thing. It will make discussion to grow. It will make the readership to be more loyal to the blog they are visiting.
Have just installed this plugin, so expect it would bring some discussion at http://www.wpdaddy.com/blog/ since it is still a ‘brand new’ blog :)
I’ve installed this plugin and it works great. I’ve definetely seen an increase in comments to my blog.
