No more "like" button?

[HawkeyeShane]

If people can't Like my posts, why should I even bother? It's going to create resentment if people have to sift through what could be hundreds of posts that are nothing but quotes of something I posted and "I like this" comments to get to the important stuff...

The "Like" feature was supposed to be all about saving bandwidth and encouraging lazy posters to contribute more...now it will just create anarchy...and scorn...

I used to like liking posts I didn't really like.

Was back before the days of the "Like" button. If people agreed with your post they would reply with "chad", where chad came from I have no idea. Pretty sure Vintage had a hand in it, somehow. JDM got tired of all the chad posts and politely suggested it stop. So someone suggested "ostrich" as the new chad. Well it didn't take long for JDM to disapprove of that reply as well. Then came the "Like" button.

I could be wrong on which came first, Chad or Ostrich. Perhaps someone could help me out there.

Feel free to "Chad" or "Ostrich" this post.

Thx. I feel enlightened.

Should go with "Chad" (good) and "Mesa" (bad).

I'm still mildly surprised by that. I would have thought the DJK incident set the bar pretty high.

Or the Orange Bowl victory, although the site was only a few months old at that time.

Hey I got an idea! Let's use that star system like the old scout site had.

I don't like this new situation. When is it going to be fixed?

Not a day later than it has to be.

 

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

Not a day later than it has to be.

Will that be between 8am and 12pm or 1pm and 4pm?

Yes

What if the "like" button is not only restored but a "don't like" button is added as well? Which button gets used the most?

 

[Golfer]

I'm growing tired of this thread.

Don't like no more.

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

same timeframe as the new recruiting feature?

Like.

Jon -

I assume that once you get the "Like" button working again, that you'll then go back through all the threads between now and the time it broke, and manually tally all of the likes that people have given in comments, and credit the posters accordingly? It's really the only fair way to do it.

Thanks,

Your loyal subjects

Fire your IT department, Jon.

I'm starting to think it's not coming back at all. Crazy, I know.
