News The 2020 Likepocalypse

Those Anti-GSP guys can’t spam eachother’s threads with likes anymore.

Toner, after being informed of 25 likes per day...

Sherdog programmers getting marching orders: "Hey, I think the likes are clogging the system. Let's reset them and while you're at it, fit a few more advertising banners on the pages?"

would like, but you was my #26 likes.....

sorry bruh....
 
I kinda thought if you had more likes then someone else it made you super cool around here. Now I am nothing.
 
Alright, here's the deal man. Tech has reset Like counters to zero. They did this because the system was getting too clogged up - you may have noticed serious browsing issues the last few months, and this is why.

Please don't e-suicide your accounts because of this. We know this sucks, and that they meant a lot to some of you, but it was either this or have a janky forum. Parent company went with the former.

Tech has also implemented a limiter for standard accounts, where posters should only be able to like a certain number of posts each day. This also applies to profile posts and comments as well.

I don't understand all the tech talk stuff...did they have to reset the number of likes every user has in order to moderate the number of likes people can dish out in a day?
 
So, is this a scam to get people to buy platinum memberships. So you can hand out unlimited likes???

This place used to be just fine before the like system. Circa 2015. Every other forum has likes but somehow it’s an issue here. Just get rid of them all together. This is now an elitist system.

I don't see why they would need to reset the likes to be honest.

They could've exported the like table(s), reset the system and then re-import the likes counts.

They just didn't want to do the work.

They were either lazy or they didn't know how to do it or in other words, too lazy to look it up.
