faq_questionmark I am asking all the readers for their thoughts.

Last week, I had a reader send in comment via our contact form and basicly stated that they would love to comment on articles, but they didn’t want to have to sign up in our forums to do so.

We have a great community and the forum commenting was put in place to allow the members an easy method of commenting in a format they already know from being forum minded folks. I love that, it’s great for the community.

Well, this comment had me thinking. If someone takes the time to send this in, there has to be others that just don’t feel like taking the effort to tell us too. I decided to enable both styles of commenting for now. We’ll see how this goes a while. If you check out the site, you will notice a line for forum comments and “regular” comments.

Head over and chime in with your thoughts too. Nothing has changed from the early days of Aximsite, I still value all input and want the site to be what you want it to be. Ya know.

    I like the method here, except you might want to add some sort of 'is this a real human' test.

    By the way, your UMPC site comments are still enabled, and it's become something of a honeypot for bad pornbots. Made it a joy to try to find real commentary - is there anything you can do (like, disable comments there?)

    I know there are a bunch of other forums that do this. Sometimes I like it.
    Will you need to verify they are real (like supply e-mail address), and will that further deter someone from posting without having a log in?
    Is there another method like just having those pictures of letters you have to verify?

    I like the idea of having it mixed, but perhaps not everywhere.
    Maybe try the front page news items from MobilitySite, and we [all] can see how that goes.
    I am all for doing things that increase activity, since I get a lot out of the activity and comments of other here.

    I really like this style better, but it seems to leave the forum people out of the loop. Why can't the comments appear in both places? If someone in the forum leaves a comment it should show up here in the reply area... And vice versa...

    I like being able to comment without having to login to the forum. Just makes things quicker.
