Most forums did have reputation systems though, which I would argue were the primitive form of likes. But I agree, I do miss the old forum style of communities.

- frosted-flakes 5y agoThe reputation was often just the age of the account, which was displayed prominently, while the actual comment date was hidden away somewhere else.
- lethologica 5y agoTrue, but I always found that those with higher reputations were given preferential treatment or seen as “superstars” of the forum. Similar to how people with large followers are considered the same these days.
