No More Chatbox

Today, I will delete my chatbox. It has not served it purpose anymore and has become the haven of spammers, and passersby who only want to promote their sites without leaving at least some sensible remarks.



In the past, when spammers were fewer and the bloggers were purer, we were not afraid of unwanted visitors. Now, times have changed. And it changed really fast. I think I could still blog without the chatbox. Most blogs don't have chatboxes anymore, and interactions are more on the comment portions.

So, if you want to leave a message here, you should know where the comment section is.

Exactly, why leave a message to a third party chatbox application when a comment can be preserved in a blog so long as the blog exists. Managing comment is much more easier too as it is integrated in the Blogger dashboard (no need to login to a separate account to manage the chatbox).
I think the chatbox was a fad when blogging was still booming. But now, it only makes sense to leave a comment to a blog related to a particular entry.

Kumusta na, 'Gaw. I think it had been ages since the last time I visited your blog... :)
