Boyah Forums

Likes probably do represent the Facebookification of Boyah at least somewhat, but truthfully, not all elements of Facebook are necessarily bad. Zucc must have done something right in order for his platform to have become the single largest and most powerful social network in human history by several orders of magnitude. srsly

Doodthing has recently answered our prayers and Facebook is finally beginning to decline. We must do all we can to ensure that we are poised to capitalize on this massive opportunity to become the next big social network. If that means the implementation of likes, you better believe I'm all for it. srs

i personally think likes increase net interactivity of boyah's users with boyah too lol, and part of what helped to make facebook massive is keeping users engaged

so be sure to like/comment/subscribe and make your opinion heard n_n

well that's not an option because it actually does :|

Quote from: Snowy on August 04, 2018, 11:53:19 AMhow do i dislike a post

you hover on it for a sec and you click on the argh; button

It's not bad facebook until my relatives are on it, ads are implemented, and I only see posts suggested to me

they're actually going to be renamed uplotes lol

btw, a vote for "likes are destroying boyah" is also a vote for "i will expound my argument below"

as in, it doesn't count unless you explain yourself n_n

it looks dumb. i would only ironically like it if it was a pray button

Same, the speed and functionality of the forum is great but hopefully we can get a better theme and maybe make the wording more Boyah like.

Well one thing they could do is cut down on when people quote something without adding anything to it. And cut down on posts as a side effect.

Well yeah but that's all different. And you're still not overposting cute anecdotes from my childhood to my wall 😉

Would you like me to? giggle;

yes it is facebooky but i dont think they're inherently a negative thing. it's nice to give people props for a nice post if you have nothing to add to it. i also like that we can record stats on posts. lots of forums do it.

liking is like upvoting but you can't downvote

change my mind

It's just kinda pointless and adds visual clutter

But if we keep it def change the icon to wrench; and change name from Like to Wrench

I'd support changing like to wrench

I can make a smaller, greyscale wrench icon to go with it

it definitely needs to be tied to a restored doodthingocity that tracks likes

quota needs to come back and then doodthingocity can be an equation based on quota and likes

Nah doodthingocity was dumb
A total number of likes attributed to you would be alright, and quota should be like 600 a month

quota should be the  highest number of posts by a particular user in the previous month

Eh

Average number of posts by active user a day

maybe there should be a hard numbered baseline quota that also auto-adjusts up and down (the minimum being that hard baseline) with overall activity

There should be knives in your eyeballs

It couldn't be that frustrating to whip up a new and modernized quota algorithm. cry;

can we have a quota that is relative to the current activity of the entire internet, scaled down to the size of our userbase???
