Preventing comments

I can't find where to turn off comments - not just turn them off but not have any indication of comments show up in the posts. Where do I go to do this?

You can go to Options->Discussion and turn off comments, or remove the comments_template function from single.php.

I did turn off comments, which doesn't do the whole job. I went to single.php and am not sure what to change here:

'<div class="postmetadata">Posted by <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <span class="commentcount">#discussion"><?php comments_number('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></span>'

If you mean the bubble icon and the number of comments, yeah you can delete what's in the span tag.

Now for the tricky part. We've deleted the bubble and comments number and turned off comments, but now the contact form doesn't work...

I can just install a different form, of course, but is there a way to reverse these changes just for that one page? I am also looking at a separate "guestbook" type page that I would want to accept comments, too.
