One of the big things about having a website like TwinF is preventing spam.  For those of you not aware, spammers are a plague among bloggers. They leave comments on entries that link to unrelated and often vile websites.  Then, the comments must be removed by the owners of the site.

On the road, we do not want to deal with spammers, so we required registration for leaving comments and adding travel experiences. I've been assured by the Bryght guys that the Drupal spam module should be able prevent a majority of spam.

So, the spam module is now enabled and comments are open to anyone with the desire, so long as you're not offering to sell something.  We'd LOVE to hear from you, so please do comment at will.

Been visiting this site since it's been up.  Really fantastic job and can't wait to see what it's like when you begin the trip. 

I don't register for sites.  I hate it when you have to register to view a news article or any other such thing where there's really no reason to provide any personal information.  Just on general principle!  But I've wanted to show encouragement and support for what you are both doing, so I'm very glad you've eliminated registration.

Did I mention this is a really fantastic site?  Best/dwd

It's great to hear from you! Yeah, we may have been over conscious of spam for the comments. Hope you'll say hello more often!
