In communities that are particularly active, there may be entries 100 entries back or so that have active comments on them. A quick scan of 100 entries in one community isn't necessarily going to remind you that there are additional comments in one particular entry. Of course, if the comm is that active, most of the recent comments will likely drown out the comments on older entries.
That said, I think this could be a useful suggestion. Especially for the Suggestions community-- there are often entries from over a year ago that have people come back and comment "I want this!" on them, or where they're marked for submission to the developers or planned for implementation.

That's why I suggested not to show the x last recent comments but x last active entries, meaning that even if a very hot entry receives up to hundreds of comments in 2 hours, they will not hide a possible lonely comment on an old entry.
In my idea the box would look like : (with the time as an option, might be the most difficult part of the idea)
Entry name www - bob49 - 16:17
Entry name abc - paul758 - 16:02
Entry name xyz - tom325 - 15:21
An entry would not appear twice in the list so if another user, let's say anna954 writes a comment on entry xyz,even if the "hot" entry www receives tons of comments, the latest being from carol42, the box would move like this :
Entry name xyz - anna954 - 16:34
Entry name www - carol42 - 16:31
Entry name abc - paul758 - 16:02
I hope the suggestion is clearer with this ^^
