I’ve noticed on a few other forums I’m on that they have a “like” or “thank” button in the bottom right corner of the the posts. You can “thank” a person for a post and it shows who thanked the person for the post.
I thought this may be a good/fun feature to add. Sometimes you get that one post in a thread and everyone loves it. This would be a cool way to show it.

It would at least cut down on some of the worthless “lol” or similar posts.

^That’s exactly what it does. There’s less clutter in threads with people who only came in to make a comment.
I would also like karma back. But we can’t have that obviously lol.

I’m a big fan of the “like” button on other forums I’m on…
instead of adding this post, I could’ve just “liked” the first post to show I was on-board 😉

“post scores” can suck it, I could care less.

Sorry, been busy and away from the Internets.
Depends on how it’s implemented. Are we talking Facebook connect or a vB mod? And it needs to distinguish itself from karma. I’ve seen several forums where all the likes do is add to a total under a username a-la-karma making it useless because people just “like” junk posts.
Posting “thanks” instead of clicking a button also keeps a thread alive and ultimately gets it more views because it stays active.
