How about fixing it so that this thing can tell dates (see Bobjim's suggestion that claims to have received a comment on the 2nd of January thoguh the last was a month before that) and so that it'S able to count comments (as in poems which claim to have five comments which only have four)?

The site remembers comments that have been 'deleted'. So that would be one of those five gained comments was deleted, and a comment on the suggestion was posted on the 2nd of january and then deleted.
