Hi Marty & Members
You Tube and Facebook, both have “Like Buttons” They are each worth over five billion dollars each. The “Like Button” on You Tube, Facebook and the OGR Forum, is a method used to sell advertising.
Take away the Like Button and the Activity Points, there is a risk to advertising dollars.
Remember this fact - 62% of people on the web are now on a smart phone or iPhone, for me checking the “Like” is faster then typing a comment, this is a complex process on a Smart Phone.
I would encourge the OGR Management not to change the rules.
