I wish we had a "Like" Button

[zonomo]

As I read the threads and learn new things every day, I want to express my agreement/thanks. I wish we had a Like Button. Any change of getting that added?

That's what the +1 button is for.

It's a nice idea but kinda defeats the purpose of the forum.
Someone who might have something useful or encouraging to say might opt-out in favor of hitting a simple "like button"
I think a lot of us would appreciate the site staying as far away from Facebook and its concepts as possible. I study interpersonal communication and while I'm no Ph.D, I could go on for a while about the communication problems Facebook creates.
One of the reasons I'm here, and I think a lot of others are, is because this forum is very un-like Facebook. ::

Well, sometimes we have something to add and other times we dont but agree. Maybe its just me but i would find it encouraging if people liked what i have to contribute but not everyone has the time to write stuff. I do in the AMs and at night but not during the day very often. Just my .02.

Fair enough ::

Count me in with the old fashioned folk who are against a like button for the above mentioned reasons.

 

[zonomo]

ok. lordofthepiperings is +1

 

[rotschefeller]

Everyone here is so nice every post would be liked by everyone that read it :rofl:

We used to have a reputation function, but it was removed.

+1 posts > like button

What a headache this feature was on the bodybuilding forums...good call.

 

[philip]

Thanks, I agree.
(Gee, was that so difficult?)

 

[captainprophesy]

If it aint broke...

 

[spartan]

I don't feel the need to see how many people agree with me. I take solace in the fact that I'm always right and you are all wrong.

+1? Anyone?
Haha. Thanks for pitching the idea. But I'm in the against party.

+1

I'm with rothn and don't get the "like" feature of Facebook, seems silly.

Another pipe forum has this feature and it seems like a waste of a keystroke, my opinion only. But, I'm widely recognized as someone who is always correct.....

I LIKE that you guys don't want a like button. :clap:

 

[gmwolford]

I LIKE that you guys don't want a like button.

Somehow I knew that was coming; I can only imagine the headache you'd have there, Kevin.

I like the way the forum works without a "like" button. You can respond with a "+1", simply say "like what you said", or give your input on why you do or don't agree, to whatever extent you feel necessary.
I think this forum is about as close as you can come in cyberspace to actually sitting while smoking a pipe somewhere and having a conversation with some of the folks on the forum.

wait I think I got it 2 work :rofl:

no seriously though if you like it comment it also bumps it so other people can see it in the forum feed without having to dig around
