Join the DoFollow Community
I just recently joined the DoFollow community on Bumpzee started by Andy Beard. If you haven't read Andy's blog, I suggest you check it out and subscribe right away because he has some amazing content and a great perspective on everything he reviews.
The DoFollow community is for bloggers who have stopped the madness and removed the nofollow links from their blog. I see no reason why people should nofollow the links to people who comment on their blog since these are the people who matter most. It only makes sense to share a little link juice with the people who actually take the time to comment on your site. Not only that, but I just think the whole nofollow tag is ridiculous and not truly necessary if people monitor their blog comments properly by the use of some type of spam filter or captcha.
If you have any questions on how to remove the nofollow tags from your posts in Wordpress, Moveable Type or any other blog platform, check out Andy's list of dofollow and nofollow plugins and you will be able to find one to fit your needs.
Also, don't forget to join the Bumpzee DoFollow community and help to spread the word. Many webmasters are making the switch back to the days of no nofollow and I hope that you will too.
Comments
The promotion of the community is most welcome and hopefully will continue to grow and prosper.

Yup,
I find it bad also for non spamers.
I may join Andy's community.
BTW, Andy is on my best blog list!

Great going and welcome to the club. More and more bloggers will come to their senses and do the same.

Welcome to the Community, Mark! I can see our numbers starting to grow and mostly to posts like this that spread the word.

Welcome! I discovered the value of DoFollow via Andy's blog as well. I think many bloggers who are just starting to write their blog do not realize their blogs have "nofollow" attributes in the comments. I didn't.

I love it! Thanks for the tip - I just installed the SEM-dofollow plugin on my blog too.

Hello
Well the do follow stuff definitely helps the blogs but it also has a downside that people tend to spam it.
I am just starting a blog site soon and definitely it will have a dofollow as i think thats the best way you can attract traffic real fast and if your content is good people will keep coming in.
