Every couple of months, I go through the blogs. If no one has left a comment in over 4 months, I disable commenting and change the category so that it doesn't show up in the main "Blog posts" category any more.

The idea is that if no one has made any new comments, then people pretty much have lost interest in that subject. If the person who wrote the blog wants to keep it going, it's up to them to make a comment every once in a while to show that they want it to remain active and to spark new interest in their blog. The comment should be a good message, not a minor edit whose only purpose is to keep the blog active. For example, if all you did was make a comment with a single period or question mark in it just to get around the four months activity, then that wouldn't reset the length of inactivity.

You can edit the blog to enable commenting again if you like. You might want to look at the History of the blog and then click on Undo to get the category back to where it was and make sure you put a check mark in the "Commenting" box before you save it.

Regarding the comments, I noticed they were gone when I disabled commenting, but I chalked that up to the fact that Wikia doesn't officially support the Opera web browser. If you're seeing that in Internext Explorer, Firefox or whatever, then it is a bug. Hopefully Wikia will fix it soon.
