I did hear of one called SmartGB that looked potentially similar in functionality? Definitely would be curious to see what other options there is though too!
Thank you all for the suggestions so far, this is great! I might experiment with a widget of sorts, but SmartGB seems like a good option if that falls through!
I really enjoy html comment box because I can embed it on my site and customize it to my hearts content ^_^ and it lets you filter words, review comments before they are posted, quickly reply, etc very handy features…
yes!! let me know if you need help with customizing it :D and also since you mentioned you have a hard time replying to comments, HTMLcommentbox makes it really easy cause you can stay signed in and simply click reply on each comment to respond ^^ I have it on my site if you’d like to see what it looks like!
@cloverbell honestly being able to stay logged in will tip me over the edge of trying it out. Having that path of least resistance always makes doing things like that so much easier. Thank you for offering to help with styling as well, you're so sweet!! I'll definitely hit you up if I need it :D <3 <3

I've been using smart guestbook since I started my site and have been pretty happy with it!
I myself use ayano's comment widget with ultraguest as a backup!
I started using HTML Comment Box as of today!
we just switched to smartgb! it seems really similar to 123 so far!
Still trying to figure out what to switch to but I was so surprised when I searched for website guestbooks and found *so many*!

@divergentrays it's surprising right, and a bit overwhelming too when trying to narrow one down!!

@cloverbell ahhh you're definitely selling me on it, how customizable it is seems really nice! I think I'm going to give it a whirl!

I've personally been using a post on dreamwidth as my guestbook - I feel like it's more secure. dreamwidth and guest users can comment there as well
