Last year, I revived a site I had built back in the late 90s as a tribute to Dynamite Magazine. Part of that nostalgia was adding a guestbook, and I even included the comments I received way back then. Even some of the original staff signed it!
99% of the comments now are just bots. It's a struggle to bring back old school web like this without serious moderation safeguards. Using Netlify Forms works pretty well.
