:/ Naa.

OT: I remember suggesting this a long, long time ago. You replied with, "It's on the to-to list". Glad to see you're finally on it.

Looks like I'm the first person to vote no. I see this as a bad idea as it can possibly take away social interaction. You may end up with a thread with 14 likes and no replies. What's the fun in that?

Spoiler:There isn't any.

Yeah but if people are just posting "Thanks" it's kind of spam / not really worth the read.

Yeah, these are pretty much the opposite sides of the argument.

Suggestion @Oni: Don't allow people to like the OP, only replies to a thread.

This would be useful instead of commenting an agreement you could just like the statement or argument.
Yes.

Personally I'd rather have a Thanks button like this: http://puu.sh/a87Ep/3504dbb377.png but a like system is better than nothing.

Naa, a like button can be used in a wider variety of situations, whereas a thank button can only be used to thank someone.

Good point but I think it would be nice to have the same format, even if it does say something like "The following 17 users liked this post:"

Definitely, it's always bugged me a little that we don't have a like button, I love that feature on forums.

So is this actually becoming a feature @Oni?
