If it sends a notification to you when people “like” or “post quote” you in a thread, it’ll make the thread worth viewing still.

Let’s be honest, if a thread has diminished itself to only “likes” and “lol’s” then it probably wasn’t a good thread to begin with.

VBmod. I wouldn’t have it total anything, unless it would somehow affect search results. Think, instagram “like” feature.
