Comments for the blog plugin have to be enabled.
This will be possible once the _RemoteCP **API**_ is finished.

## Why?
The frontend database does not store usernames or other user info. It is all located in the backend, at _RemoteCP Panel_. All user data is stored there.

## When?
An API for RemoteCP is being developed. Once vierbergenlars/RemoteCP#3 is merged, the API will become available. This is planned for release 3.0b.

## How?
The frontend database stores the userid of the person who posted the comment. When the comment is retieved for the first time, the website will query the RemoteCP API for more information about the user. Only the **username** will be cached for a to be specified time. The next time the comment is retieved, the website pulls the username from its cache and will forward it to the requester.
