When I first started on the site there was no Like button and the site didn't go down every few days...I never used the like button, and while enjoyed seeing all my new likes, I always felt like a cad for not ever liking anyone else back, or to begin with...if I really "like" what you say I will give rep...and it will say this "(specific message related to post) *High Five*" So then you know that I "like" what you say and why I "like" it...I say get rid of the damn "like" button and work harder on the site staying up more then it is down!
