I probably shouldn't be brought up used in a Rep vs. Likes argument considering I'm pretty much always equal in both and I seem to fluctuate between having more rep and likes. I think my difference of six currently is the biggest difference I've had between the two in quite some time.
As for Reps vs. Likes, I don't really give rep somewhat because of inconvenience (albeit a minor one but still) but mostly because it's a new feature and I'm old school. I've been on forums for as long as I've been watching wrestling, and if they've had a reputation system, it was essentially what the post likes system is. I also try not to abuse the like button, though I've probably restricted myself too much. I've really liked a hell of lot more posts on here than I've actually "liked'. I think I'm getting better at that though. Anyway, for what it's worth I only liked posts that I consider HQ.
And for the real reason I entered the thread, I just wanted to say that I really hope the "Jessie has a weener" board style isn't getting deleted. I much prefer it to what the default style has going on. Yeah, I'm sorry for bringing this up and veering off-topic but it's loosely connected to the thread considering where this thread originated. Okay, I'll shut up now.
