Do you remember the guestbook?

About 3 or 4 years ago, when I started to make webpages and to found my personal site, I especially liked the guestbook. My friends could leave words to me, and I also could hear their news. Guestbook was extremely important for me at the time, it made me not alone on the internet. I had saved all of their comments and showed them in my site.

In 2002, I signed numbers for every comment. Fox example, No.1, No.2, No.3... No.1560, and so on. I also could derive pleasure from these numbers, it made my site's ambience well.

Now, I also founded a guestbook catalog for my Weblog, it's "Nice comments" catalog. The guestbook programs were written by me in ASP language, I had improved the programs strongly for 5 times. Once upon a time, you could reply for every comment in my guestbook, like O'Reilly Network, but now, I think it's not so necessary to open the function that every one can reply for every comment in my sites. So the Nice comments as you can see is a simple guestbook. I'll save all of my friends' comments, and change the database to HTML pages and make a Guestbook History catalog.

If you feel it necessary to improve this guestbook, I'll never stop improving it. Do you have a guestbook in your site? Or you had deleted, or you had other ways instead of the guestbook, or you needn't it?
