Hey Chris or other forum designer/moderator.

It would be really cool to have a "Like" button or feature for photos and comments on this forum. People often post rad photos or great thoughts, and it would be cool to interact with eachother by giving a thumbs up (or down). Its such a common feature in so many other forums/social media outlets.

Often, say in the "Show me What you're Building" or "Very Large Trout Lover's Thread" or "Post up a Rock on Tuesday" threads, people post cool stuff but never receive any feedback because we are tired of writing comment after comment and it starts to sound banal or not worth the effort.

I for one would be way inclined to hit "like" on all cool photos or comments and I think it would be cool to rack up a whole bunch of "likes" on a comment or photo I submit. This would also be helpful in some of the arguments online....giving credit where credit is due for good thought content or a well stated argument.

I have been interacting less and less here lately after years of contributing TR's and threads but thought this might spice things up and make it a more fun place to visit.

Get with the times Supertopo! Rec.climbing never got a "like" button and look what happened to it! You ain't relevant these days if folks can't interact properly. Bring on the dopamine releasing "LIKE" button!

Thoughts?

Let the content speak for its self. No need to mimic social media

John you're just afraid nobody would "like" your posts.

I have always been told to get something done you have to find how it affects the bottom line. The Taco is funded by ads. I assume that means it already has a counter to let the advertisers know how many people visit the site. If we were willing to let advirtisers post ads smack dab in the middle of popular threads that were indicated by likes I could see it happening. If we had like buttons I could not find really cool threads just by looking at how many people responded. I guess I could count like hits. LOL

It's not very polite to go around telling people "that's fupped uk", even if you use an acronym to do it.

Thoughts:

1. It would be really, really cool NOT to see a "Like" button.

2. It would be really, really cool to have a "take a hike" button.

Yanqui, you get a plus two for the video.

What's that, a total of minus four all-around for you now, but who's counting, eh?
