I'm not sure I'm following you... Pebble is a blogging software, not a
forum software. Random users from the internet can leave a comment to an
entry (even putting their home page in it) but they cannot create an
account.

I was also using a forum soft back in the days (jforum) and was having this
problem. With Pebble, there is no such thing as a profile page for other
users than the editors. Or I'm missing something ;-)
