Because the forum moved to a new 'platform' that was more of a 'plug-in and away you go' sort of affair, with 'off the peg' add-ons.
In its previous incarnation people ended up with - (as in minus) mega-amounts of arbitrary bollox points. At one point @basil was down in the minus thousands.
Feckin' basil, man - ffs?!? Legend.
One would argue that the introduction of the 'like' system that replaced it is as least as bad, though probably not any worse - at least it only promotes positive contributions. This is true only up to a point, though. Because, because, because... why don't they like me?
The whole Tesco ClubCard aspect of it is risible, and ultimately detrimental to the ethos that should be engendered in a public space such as this. It is too easy to retreat into the kind of 'safe spaces' that more successful 'social media' sites have capitalised upon in the last ten years or so. Things shouldn't be too hard, but that doesn't mean they should be too easy.
Who gives a feck whether anybody 'likes' what you have to say?

I mentioned him (Alex Wagner) a while ago on the “Leave or Remain” thread.
I said that he wasn’t old enough to vote in the referendum but is now a candidate.
I also mentioned that he is from Manchester/Stockport area so yet again, none of our options actually live, work, or seriously care about Stafford but are all on a career trajectory.

When in Doxey ....
Anyway, anyone remember Paul Nuttall - one of UKIP's many leaders?
James Barr @James_Barr
Nuttall dresses like one of those WW2 German spies who couldn't understand why they were arrested within 1/2 hr of landing in Britain

My auntie doesn't care about elections or politics.
She has never voted.
When my cousin turned 18 he voted for the first time.
That same year she also went to the polling station and voted.
She voted for the opposite party. Just to counteract my cousin's vote.
farking brilliant!!!
