Yeah I miss old traditional forums. Obviously plenty are still up but everyone is lazy and either just opens a subreddit or a reddit clone.

Personally think there should be no voting whatsoever. Even with posts anything that offends the hivemind is gonna get squelched down, whether they had something valid to say or not. Just let first come first serve be the rule, like in the old days.

And I do the same thing, checking to see how many upvotes I got lol.
