It certainly can be done, I for one have a guestbook people can sign from my location in-world and the entries can be read from the same object or from a webpage. I have also seen scripted bulletin board objects which allow people to leave behind a message though I've never investigated them.

If you are looking to script your own the most important part is how to store the data. In my case this is an outside webserver with PHP and MySQL using HTTPRequest (llHTTPReques) for communications. Other options involve storing the data in scripts and manually transferring them into notecards for long-term storage. With this option you need to be wary of your scripts memory limits.

In addition to that you'll need an interface with which to leave the message, either a listen (llListen, listen() event) or a notecard (llGetNotecardLine, dataserver() event), together with some filtering.

Leaving these messages wouldn't make sense unless there was some way to review them so you'll need an output too, be it chat (llSay, llWhisper etc), SetText (llSetText), xyText (search these forums) or a web-based viewer. You would also need an interface by which to navigate through the entries, this could be some touch buttons or a dialog box (llDialog).

This would be a large task for someone fresh to scripting unless they had a firm grounding in another programming language (and some PHP/MySQL knowledge if going down that route). I would recommend searching for a pre-built/scripted system for sale or perhaps an open source or freebie system on which to build your own.

Less complicated: send out emails of each comment.

As far as displaying them, it's simple to do llSetText or use something similar to show maybe the past few entries. Retrieving all of them gets hard.

OK, so, I found this thread and am using the script on the page:
/54/49/123025/1.html

HOWEVER, I know nothing about scripting, and currently, it only sends an email rather than letting guests view the entries in-world.

Any help would be much appreciated. Again, please, bear in mind, I know NOTHING about scripting.
