Pointless thread is pointless. The like button is there for a reason, it's like the "Thank" button on lots of other forums, it's there for when you appreciate a post but don't have anything to add to a discussion. I suggest more people start doing this, lol.
Also, I never appreciate posts. So if you get a like from me, you should go dance in the fucking rain, because either you're Noodle, or you just made me impressed.
