Importing Disqus comments to Wordpress locally cause ranking to drop?

Hi, I recently moved my site to Wordpress but it wasn't until a month later I decided it's a good idea to import all my 700 Disqus comments (collected in the last 3 years) into my site. Then I let WordPress Disqus plug-in display all the new imported comments so Google can start spidering the new content.

Then 10 days later, some of my pages dropped from page 1 to page 2/3; some went from page 1 to page 4/5.

Is this some kind of penalty Google imposed on my site for "flooding" the SE with comments? Is there a fix to this?

All my comments are heavily moderated and all constructive feedbacks add value to the site. The last thing I want to do is to get rid of them.

Seems like maybe a coincidence; I have successfully ported large numbers of comments to Disqus with no problem. There's a lot of SERP turmoil going on right now, maybe you got caught up in that?
