So I’ve upgraded the commenting system used on DRGPhoto.com. Previously, I was disabling comments after some time in an attempt to thwart spam, but I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I was just hampering discussion in general. I did some thinking, some research, and some more thinking and I think I’ve come up with a good solution to my problem.

Previously, I was under the impression that if I required people to sign in to leave comments I would reduce the overall spam and would have an easier time dealing with it – but I was wrong. Instead I just reduced the overall amount of people commenting period. The new system takes a stab at resolving this. Instead of registering and logging into “DRGPhoto.com” to leave comments, you can now sign in using one of many popular sites that you more than likely already have an account with. This alleviates the need to create more than one account as well as inviting more discussion here on DRGPhoto.com.

So, without further delay – please join me in starting a conversation!
