We should have an attendance log, in our profile, of active time spent here. Easy to do. Daily, weekly, monthly cumulative score.
Then we could see who the real site supporters are - or addicts!
We could also see if all these so called 'super dads' who profess to be wonderful mentors actually spend time with their kids away from their computers! 😛
A complete publicised invasion of privacy from info you yourselves, as loggers in to the site, make available... 😉
Could be fun... 😲

no, the rec count made the forums a MUCH more interesting and fun place to be.
clearly, such is not the case.
IF that is what you were saying.
recs did not make the posts suddenly more interesting or fun. in fact, quite the opposite. the posts were predictably snarky, rude, sarcastic and mean, all in the name of garnering another almighty rec.
good riddance to them.

Just because the rec system might be abused by some it does not mean the system is bad in and of itself.

Are you saying people write mean and sarcastic posts for the sake of getting recs? And here I always thought it was for the sake of being mean and sarcastic.

I don't find the recs I get for saying that "gratification." It shows agreement or support or that someone liked that post and feels others should read it. Would you prefer to have a bunch of posts where people say "Hey, I agree, right on bro!" I certainly hope not. That cannot be tallied, and therefore we would not have a rec posts link on the site.
There was no benefit of removing the rec count, except to diminish the forums. It was the acts of few that ruined the fun of many. Group punishment for a few people's stupidity is ridiculous. And people take sides on this issue worse than a political party, nobody has there own damn opinion, just followers.
I like you Suzi, but I'll never agree with you on this issue.
