today i mowed the lawn at dusk as it was starting to rain and it felt like the most accurate metaphor for my life at the moment and possibly every moment of said life

To the powers that be (by which I mean the person or persons who operate this website) and my fellow guests, I hope you will have a very excellent day today, and every day henceforth.
I wish you every happiness, and that the book of your life is as long and beautiful as any great tome in the grandest library.
So it is written, so shall it be.

Guestbook’s been down for WEEKS. I wrote a whole sonnet last week and it VANISHED.
Now everyone’s gushing over booktrovert.com like it INVENTED books.
No personality. No ghost. No mildew.
Fix your backend. And bring back the raccoon entry from 2022. That one slapped.

Did you really buy this domain just to confuse people? How insecure do you have to be?
Elaine M. Fenton (MLS, Ret.)

I am appalled.
Let me begin by saying that I am not a person who leaves “internet comments.” I am a retired librarian with 42 years of professional experience, a master’s degree in library science, and a deep and abiding respect for the written word. I came to this website—this domain—under the impression that it was connected to something legitimate. Something thoughtful. Perhaps even something useful for my community reading group.
What I found was... this.
A “guestbook” apparently populated by anarchists, stray pets, and people who I can only assume are operating under the influence of expired cold medicine. There are cryptic messages from someone called “Randy from the Future,” which—if not part of an elaborate hoax—may represent a genuine mental health crisis. There are rambling entries about milk and library cards, denunciations of humanity from a ghost, and at least three separate users who seem to believe this site is a form of sentient prophecy.
And the language. My god, the language.
I counted no fewer than nine references to “the void,” two discussions of dog trauma (which is not funny), one possible seance, and an individual who referred to themselves simply as “?” (a name, apparently). Another person “hid in the back of a Barnes & Noble” and signed your guestbook from there. If that’s meant to be cute, it isn’t.
I don’t know if this is performance art, a cult, or a lost marketing intern’s final breakdown. But I do know this: it is not a resource. It is not helpful. And it is not okay.
I will be reporting this domain to my network of retired information professionals and removing it from all future recommendation lists. Good luck to you. You clearly need it.
