The forums appear to be very slow recently, some days almost waiting for an hour for a fresh post to come through.

I would like to make a pledge that we bring back the Rec system to see if it changes things (and you have to agree it was fun when we had it)

I would like this post to get as many posts as possible in order for Russ to see how many people want it back.

The old rec system was crap!
People formed their own cliques and rec'd everything their buddies posted, no matter how bad it was, and even if it was a simple smiley face!

No, I do not want to see stupid posts getting recs again just because recs had no value.

Well I happened to think it was much better with the rec system. It livened up the place. Been nothing but dull without them. 😞

Rec's are good as long as they have value. Unlimited rec's do not have value. I think a limited rec system is good.

We have a limited rec system now.So why not have the rec count as well.

Some people are just spoil sports.

The same people are still here, posting the same old crap. The only way re-introducing the old Rec system will liven up the forums is by stop you moaning gits whining about it.

I'm in favor of showing the number of recs. I am not in favor of going back to the old system where people had unlimited recs.

From what I have seen, read, and experienced, you are 100% right, and the cliques didn't go anywhere. Most likely the same thing will happen, history has a way of repeating it self for sure.

I agree - that would be the best way methinks.

The same people are here, but a lot have stopped posting as often and in some cases completely.

I don't care that people rec'd their friends. I was never concerned with how many I had. It did bring more life into the posts.

The biggest downfall of recs, howver, is that perfectly legitimate threads were ruined because of smart alec posts created just to get a rec. I don't know how you can get away from that.

So then you're agreeing πŸ˜€

I don't see the harm in having a rec count with the now limited number of recs allowable.
