ps - this is *NOT* a "social media platform". the userbase herein really should *NOT* be so focused on all of these "counts".
myself included (ie, our *played* rep-point bean-counts).
if you want a real laugh, you can find the one person here that "likes" content from DECADES ago and then even brags and boasts that his "friend" has more "views" in 4 years than one of our moderators has in 20 years. when it was he/her that was solely responsible for 99% of those "likes". has to be some kind of high school project. or college class sociological study.
there are days, increasing in number, where i feel forums like this would be MUCH GREATER if *NONE* of these "counts" were present.
i mean, i know what posts are "helpful" and which are "far from" and i didn't have to look at the "count" to know which was which.
but anywhoo...
edit: this seems appropriate --
