Drupal Comment Module
Comment Module: Allows users to comment on and discuss published content.
The comment module in Drupal is one of the first modules that we really made use of, and it paved the way to creating our forum area which is now what drives 98% of all our traffic and earnings. The module allows members or anonymous users to post comments on pages, blog posts, or forum threads.. To Drupal, all these different types of Nodes (pages) are the same and work the same with regards to comments.. Whether or not anonymous visitors can post is controlled by the Access Control settings you assign for the comment module – all pretty simple.
We initially started to allow comments on a few of our pages a month or so after we created the site wayy back on 2006. The site was originally intended to be ’static’, but we began to receive a lot of emails from visitors asking questions about specific pages or asking new questions. Soon, we had allowed comments on virtually all pages and we realized that all this ‘commenting’ was great user-generated content that Google loved. We’ve since closed comments on many static pages by editing the Comment Settings on each page/node, and now encourage members to post questions and comments in the Forum areas of the site.
