Rotorway Forums

I was thinking... This standard forum post/thread rating system with the stars is kind of outdated for todays technological age. Would anyone prefer there to be a simple social media-style like button for posts & threads instead? Each like received for any post or thread would contribute to your forum "rank" (stars/title under the username), rather than post count? This would remove the star-rating system for threads themselves and instead show the number of likes.

I've seen some forums use this kind of system before and I think it's much cleaner/more fun. It's going to be a pretty large update to overhaul the old system, so I'd like some opinions on whether this would be preferred or not?

smart idea, i think that makes alot more sense than the reputation system thing we currently have.
