FNN used to have comments. Then they got spammed. They had a forum, and it was spammed too.
It's one thing to setup a shiny new site with all modern conveniences; there's also a considerable maintenance burden. I do lot of work behind the scenes just to stay on top of patches for existing functionality, and often reach out to or assist developers with issues affecting Flayrah.
A couple of weeks ago I installed several new anti-spam modules to resolve a rash of automated spam that was evading our filters, and tweaked existing modules to use new blocklists. Unfortunately, spam filtering is a feature that most users notice only in its absence. Headline features have to be developed separately (and have their own maintenance burden).
