I like the idea, it's like uservoice, getsatisfaction etc only really really simple.

My only complaint is the fact you've called it 'dropbox' most people associate that word with a file storage/sharing device (such as getdropbox.com or the OSX dropbox).

Perhaps 'comment box' would be more appropriate?

Also, you may want to add some flood control - I was able to bombard my test account with all manner of crap ;)

I have the same issue with the naming - it needs to be related to suggestions, comments, feedback.

I had to chuckle when the 'create a premium dropbox now!' button took me to... a dropbox! You're taking the MVP approach pretty seriously, aren't you?

I can also see the benefit of providing some embed code to allow users to integrate it on their own site.

Good job on the design, BTW.

Done! I agree, so the site is now http://instantcommentbox.com

I have the same problem with the naming -- just clicked to figure out what this "dropbox" would offer, only to find out it's a comment system :|
