Can you please take my money? EDIT: Wait, you're not the creator. Forgot this was not a ShowHN thread.

I wish I came up with this. I've never been a fan of ecmascript, but this was certainly an exception and endless fun.

I am however working on a server-side version that is just a simple perl cgi that stores comments in a file named after the users IP address. That way any browser at their location will see their message. Maybe I will put it on github if I spend enough time to do it right.

I don't get all the negativity. I read a lot of blogs where there's 90% civil discourse and just keeping in touch with people. If you happen to have a huge site with a lot of drive-by traffic, why not just disable comments?
