Hey Lily!
Good to see you posting again! Saw your Bura post, and remembered that we were like minded about the guy on the old board, before! I don’t give him much time with. Trotz! Short of a miracle turn around!
Anyway, hope all is ok! Wife and I got a new German Shepherd puppy for Christmas. Man, it’s like having a newborn baby!! LOL

We used it far more on the old site. I think this is due to the requirement to enter an explanation. This poll is asking if we should just ditch the explanation and let the Like/Dislike be a quick click.
I'll run the poll for a week or until the result becomes clear.
You can change your vote if you like.

Nice to be able to read a post without (mostly), having to squint. I'm getting old. :(

Hey AJ
To be honest, I haven’t even used a like yet. And won’t, until the format changes! Don’t get me wrong, my friend, the board is awesome, and there are a ton of posts I like! But its[size=78%] different and I don’t like the loss of anonymity about it, at all![/size]
[size=78%]I feel I should have the right to like a post, and not have to take into consideration, someone else’s opinion of whether I liked a specific post OR NOT, on somebody else!!! It adds the potential for way too much DRAMA, and soap opera type atmosphere for my blood, and definitely, IMHO, would help in the formation of little cliques, both pro or con![/size]
[size=78%]We are all only human, and [/size][size=78%]To my mind, its a simple VOTING procedure, and should be anonymous! If a person wants to inform another that he or she “likes” a post, they can post that they gave them a “like”, which was done all the time on the old forum![/size]
[size=78%]I also agree with Maaco about Losing the thumbs down! People can post their disagreements, anytime, but again, it has a potential for “ganging up” on someone, especially since they are NOT anonymous!! A LIKE IS A LIKE....period![/size]
[size=78%]Also, we brought over the number of posts for each member, but didn’t transfer the number of “likes”! Why not! Myself and some others have enjoyed a decent number of likes, only to have ZERO here! It was encouraging at the least![/size]
Lastly, I’m only commenting because you asked! I LOVE THE NEW BOARD, and am amazed at its progress! You started a GREAT THING, buddy, with a little help from some folks,( we know who they are)! So please don’t take this negatively. Just shooting from the hip with you, but the subject matter of this, really isn’t all that important to me, in the big picture of the board!
Thanks AJ

Thanks luv'. I think I needed my own re-set, so I benched myself for a little while... :P
Your new addition sounds like a lot of fun. German Shepherd's are my favourite breed of dog and I always wanted one, but sadly I am severely allergic to live fur. :'( Hence Harley and Chalrley. (Probably a bit before your time... Corn snakes.)
