'Like' or 'High Five' button for forum posts

Like the subject says. I was active on another forum for a while and then they switched to a new version where people can 'like' other people's posts. It was quite a nice addition. With Facebook so ubiquitous now it feels almost second nature to hover over that Like button when you read something you... like, instead of posting a separate reply to say, "Haha I like this." But since "Like" is over-used and I know Glitch aims to be very different from other games/websites, maybe it can be a High Five or Thumbs Up or something else more creative.

Bring on Web 2.0!

  • If we did this, it would cut down on the number of "+1" posts, too.  Which, I bet, would be better for the database!

    I love the High Five idea.  Or we could make it a reference to something in game, like The High Five? (sorry, just plugging another idea from another thread...)

  • This would also help cut down on the redundant posts, since it would be easier to find high quality posts

  • @Carl: Haha, I saw that post right after I made this topic, too =p

    I so want to click the invisible High Five button over your posts right now! Thank you for the +1's
