reaper, 'likes" are misleading on any forum. It is a measure of popularity, rather than helpfulness or quality of post as it is supposed to be. At Norm's blackjack forum, I had a "helpful rating" of better than 93%, for most of my time. That was like 3rd highest on the forum. Then after I challenged the dude with the super duper count, every single post I made received an "unhelpful vote". So those things really mean nothing. It is a popularity feature, no more.

AT GF, it was even worse, because the member that Posted as Beachbumbabsclitoris, who some say was MaxPen, would "like" almost every single person's post. If two people were arguing BBBclitoris would "like" both sides of the argument. Clearly just mocking the system.
