do the comments need to be moderated? how many are you receiving weekly approximately?
Moderation yes because I get spam and the rare abusive comment. Comments per year is maybe 2-4 because they are relatively infrequent. What I would like to do as the most similar thing to the Discord hook is to send the form information to an email address so I can manually add it to the site. The comments are infrequent enough that a system like that would work for me.

afaik, neocities doesn't allow php. the sites that I know of which have comment sections use third-party applications. I use Cactus Comments, I know some people use HTML Comment Box.
@hollymacycomic no problem, my site is hosted off site which does support php. It's only the splash page on neocities as a way of keeping a presence here

If you do use PHP (or any other method to write your own comments field), make sure you escape the input and test that it works. https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss/

If it's that infrequent you don't need anything other than a little blurb at the bottom of a given post/page that says "email your comments to blahblahblah@pixelglade.net" and then you can just punch it in yourself

@pixelglade oh, that's awesome! good luck with your php endeavors, in that case. :3
Most of it happened when I was a subscriber to neocities and I was getting around 10,000-15,000 a day. I don't know where they came from but I think they were mostly bots since now I'm not subscribed amd only have a splash page it's only 2-4 views a day which seems more realistic.

@lhfm Not the first time I've heard it but it's been awhile. Just remember, the inspiration for the Tux mascot for Linux was because Linus Torvalds got bitten by a fairy penguin in Sydney.
