    I knew someone would ask for this.
    I have seldom seen it cause issues, in both my length of time here and when I was a moderator on the forums. The only times I can recall are when there was a hot thread asking for personal blunt opinions (And that was all rather recently!) and people hit that like button to show that they agree instead of posting the same thing over and over again making half that thread redundant. Around 98.7% of the time I see the like button used, it causes no drama at all. Everything has or will play a small part to a major problem but you don't see that getting removed, for example thread posts have caused extreme drama more than likes but we wont remove those now will we (obvious joke but has a point)? Don't let the few times it caused problems outshine the thousands upon thousands of times it hasn't.

    I am against removing something that will affect everyone that was poorly used by a few. In my case, sometimes when I'm at work I don't have time to type out replies so I hit the like button to out my support behind something. I think it has its place.

    What about the NNG members only section, are we going to keep that.

    I imagine so. This would relate to more about how we handle current and new games we play. Other forum related parts should be staying about the same.

    haha - I wanted to like keleborn's post as a joke - but we I think we should keep the like system.
    I agree - with no divisions - use the game subforum to orgainize - and keeping the NNG only forum for special communiques.
    I like the TS server as a gathering place for those playing a particular game.

    Let's just make 1 application for the community, but I'm guessing thats just assumed. And as a side note since we seem to being getting a decent chunk of players back in PS2 1. Keep a look out for old members and ask if they want to come back. 2. I'm am going to plan some events for the weekends we can all do. :D

    With the deletion of divisions, we probably will go back to that application style. And if we do, it makes it easier for me to handle because I don't have to worry about who goes to what division

    I love what is happening here. Should have taken this simpler approach months ago. This weekend I will work on cleaning up the forums and removing division specific applications.
