5 stars are not enough!

I’ve been using the guestbook for so long now… and I haven’t actually left a review yet? Shame on me! The guestbook is simply fantastic! The add-on is great too. I highly recommend both!

Узнал о наличии в нём массы спама только через два года, устал удалять, но, кое что оставил. Забавный этот плагин, мне нравится. Простой в использовании.
