Hi guys, Thought I had to share this : I was looking for a free script to add some interactivity on my site and found this : http://www.scripts.oldguy.us/ In his words : If you have been searching for a comments script to use on your website you are probably as frustrated as I was. A number of scripts exist but most are very basic and inadequate. Even the more fully featured scripts do not include satisfactory comments spam protection and often favor eye candy over functionality and ease of use. So I went to work. The result is TalkBack, simple yet powerful. I tried it and can confirm that it is really a good script/solution. I'm not and expert in PHP & SQL but managed to install everything in 5 minutes. (creating the tables in the database, installing the backend, configuration,...) Now I need a bit more time to adapt the CSS files but...it already work on 1 of my pages : http://www.boekensite.net/boeken/details/6535.php Definitly a good tool and completely free ! Can't understand the guy is not more popular on the net Sorry if it has been posted before, but I didn't find it
I'm going to check this out. I too, have been looking hard and long for a good script and have been disapointed.
Thank you Bisje, I've been looking long and hard for a good comment script and the Old Guy did a good job of it too. I installed it, had next to no problems or issues and now have a great comment script. If you want to check it out click here.
Comment scripts? Im not sure what is it but will it work on blogs or blogspots? I have frequent problems with my comment box. Correct me if Im wrong.
The Old Guys script is pretty good, webinsane. I've gone through quite a few other ones out there, that for the most part, they just would not work after install and following instructions. I noticed on your site you give a money back guarantee. Why do you not regale us and extol the virtues of your script, tell us the highlights, what makes it unique and why it is worth what you charge for it. Cheers
I like The Old Guys Script so much that I decided to play with it a little more. This time I removed the emoticons, added a recaptcha and adjusted the css file to match the look to my site. Come check out the latest incarnation here.
Thought I would pipe in too. Another place to download a commercial-grade comments script is here: http://www.visitorcomments.net It was selling for $67 because of all the features but the script developer decided to offer it for FREE. I use it on some on my sites as well. Packed full of features. Best of luck-- Michael
The script looks good and thank you for sharing it with us. It's nice that it is now free, I think the only remuneration they want is for you to get put on their mailing list, small price to pay for what you get I guess.

Well, I went looking for the latest version of the script, it looks like the Old Guy's site is no longer up. Too bad.
OMG... Footer links to an adult landing page. If you are still using the TalkBack Old Guy script you need to read this article and edit the files mentioned to maintain compliance. http://blog.submitlove.com/talkback-old-guy-scriptsdefunct-remove-footer-fix/
I was looking for a free comment script to see if it was better than the one I have. And I noticed that people were saying thanks great script, but I was taking to a tooooooootally different site
