AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the introduction of "like" buttons and trophies on the forum, with many users expressing dissatisfaction with the shift from "thanks" to "like," which they feel diminishes meaningful interaction. Some participants argue that "like" serves a broader purpose, allowing users to express agreement or appreciation without needing to comment, while others view it as trivial and reminiscent of social media. There are calls for the ability to delete trophies and rename "like" back to "thanks," emphasizing the desire for more meaningful engagement. Despite differing opinions, some users enjoy the trophies and the new features, suggesting they add value to the forum experience. Overall, the conversation highlights a tension between maintaining the forum's original intent and adapting to modern social media trends.

Well there goes my strategy. I figured that I needed to get another 780 likes without posting anything of value that would increase my post count. Hmm, lots of likes with little content - actually it does describe a senator pretty well. :w
