I have seen many forums that add the names of those who "like" you as they did here. As an example, MACRUMORS is one (although not the same software). There are many others. Some forums, rather than LIKES have THANKS as in "Thank you for the helpful post.". |
I agree that everyone in the world needs to be liked.
I don't understand when you say you can "buy" likes on Facebook. On Facebook there is a like, wow, angry, sad, laugh and love button to push...…...or don't push anything.
I don't like the word "fora" for plural for forums.
