I've been installing guestbooks for my clients "the old fashioned way" for years so I was just astounded at how fast and easy it was to get Active Guestbook up and running - literally before I finished my first cup of coffee! I was only expecting all the great features (mainly the dirty word filtering and IP blocking) but the ease of installation was a sweet bonus. Going to go back now and ask all my clients to let me replace their old guestbooks with this one!

Very easy to install. The admin interface is simple and may not look professional but it does a lot under the hood. Quite customizable once you figure out how to do it. Thumbs up from me!

I highly recommend this script for anyone needing a guestbook. Very easy to set up and very easy to admin and configure. A version for Wndows would make it a 10 now.

Only problem I had installing was that my hosting company has Apache configured in such a way that permissions must be more restrictive than suggested in the documentation. Once I got over that problem, installation and configuration were a breeze. Great product, thanks for making it available.

This one is an A+ product. It couldn't be easier to install or customize. I wish everything out there was this easy.

This has got to be one of the easiest scripts I've ever installed--and it's full of features! This is literally an out-of-the-box installation. One file to upload and everything you modify is done through an interface. Highly recommended!

Excellent Script! I was able to have it up and running in about 20 minutes (and that includes customization).

I like this script. It is pretty simple to use, admin has alot of options, simple to install.

Very good script. It's nice to be able to edit and add comments to posts - something lacking in many scripts. The only major thing I'm missing is the ability to add or edit what fields to ask users for.

This is the easiest script I have ever installed since everything is run through a control panel. I am going to use their other product as well.

This is a great script! I have used at least 5 others and this by far is the most robust. Excellent control over message options, admin options, IP tracking and more. After tweaking the layout to integrate into one of my sites, the result is great! I recommend this script above the others here!

The demo looks good but the code behind it is horrible. In addition, they do not use the CGI module.

Excellent, easy-to-install, very customizable script. Had it up and running in minutes. My only complaint is that you can't customize the entries.

I've tried a few guestbooks before I found this one. What a piece of art! The maker even implemented an extra fearure (private messages) for me and that all in a few days.

What was the best got even better! I installed version 7.8 on one site but started getting spam. Now version 8.1 has taken care of that!
