News The 2020 Likepocalypse

[Sijara Romero]

Best way to get likes is from shoop threads lol. I remember getting like over 100+ likes for 1 post and 50+ for other mediocre edits.

Just know how to do good shooping and you'll get your sexy likes again.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

I never once checked mine

now I’ll never know

@jei how can I find out? Was I cool? Was it a big loss or not?

maybe I can use the wayback machine hmmmm

You were definitely cool bro.

This changes nothing

 

[chirpsmma]

How are the ones that spent half their life on this forum coping with this?

Do you go the route and say, "eh, I never cared about likes anyway"
Or
Are you devastated right now losing sleep?

Here's a like for you, my poor man.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

<{monica}>

Same goes bro

Alright, here's the deal man. Tech has reset Like counters to zero. They did this because the system was getting too clogged up - you may have noticed serious browsing issues the last few months, and this is why.

Please don't e-suicide your accounts because of this. We know this sucks, and that they meant a lot to some of you, but it was either this or have a janky forum. Parent company went with the former.

Tech has also implemented a limiter for standard accounts, where posters should only be able to like a certain number of posts each day. This also applies to profile posts and comments as well.

The way i see it, irrespective of the technical incompetence on display here, the best thing to do would be to just axe 'liking systems' altogether. Given that they are inherently demotist in nature, and hence create social schelling points towards the lowest common denominator (in order to optimize for higher 'like count'), thereby incentivizing community members to converge on a consensus of hackneyed sophistry (hackneyed sophistry in order to achieve a consensus), instead of what may be more true or good or beautiful by itself, thus altogether lowering the possible quality of the discourse.

Imagine if there was the ability to dislike?! This place would have crashed with all us grumpy shits.

Man, I wish I could be cool and say I don't give a fuck, but I went through a bit of the era with no likes, took years off, and when I came back and the likes were there I enjoyed the feature.

Felt more interactive and the race to post the first witty comment in a thread was a bit of a meta-game of the forums. I guess we still have them but in a more limited way. I've already run out of mine for 24hs lol... we should get some badge for our previous count though

Worry not fellas, I'll still be shitposting. Hope everyone is staying strong in these trying times

Don't call me grumpy - I would dislike your post if I had the option to.

 

[neonbelly***]

Feels good to see everyone brought down to my level tbh.

 

[TheBigJuicyGuy]

I like where this is going.

Just imagine the threads then.... Conor is GOAT, Khabib is GOAT and the dislikes would be in the hundreds in the first hour.

@Wadtucket broke Sherdog.

Funny I’ve been using forums for 20 years and never hear this excuse. Sherdog forums must be on some special technology that only the truly elite understand.

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

I have a list of the top 20 before the wipe saved, and you weren't on that list. But I think you were a member of the cool guy club.

Am I a member of the Cool Guy club too Lol, I only got reported Twice...well to my knowledge anyway lol.
