Title: What do you think of the like feature?

Self explanatory.

Can see the utility for some threads but for showcases, which are already dying, it's another nail in the coffin

It's something I have to get used to but it's a faster way to show that you agree with something other than making a new post to say just that. Time will tell I guess?

I dont really know how I feel. I think it's a good idea in situations like showcases but I really don't see the point other wise. It's basically giving people the option to just like posts rather than give constructive comments. Also this is a bit of an out there idea but this might make some people get a big head and say that they are more important or that their opinion means more because they have more likes. Just a thought

What Reier said. The forum needs more posts not less, and a like feature encourages people to simply drop a like on a post rather than posting a proper response. Hell, even a 1 word response like 'cool' on a showcase is better than a like IMO because at least that pushes the showcase to the top of the 'recent posts' thing so other users are more likely to see it and reply to it, where with a like it gives no meaningful feedback AND won't lead to any additional users seeing the post.

No.

Reminder that this forum costs money to host, and by not posting you are LITERALLY wasting 09's $200 that he gave to Acams.

It seems pretty redundant to have both rep and likes, especially when rep refers to specific posts as well.
