Enable the Reputation System. @Pugz,@Noble

[NOBLE]

I have a feeling the rep thing won't work because of our star rating system which is tied to battles. Well, it's more than a feeling because I've actually tried to enable it on our test site before and it didn't work. A lot of features on LB such as the star rating system are custom hacks...they're not plugins that you can buy or download from anywhere else, and I think the star rating system is actually an alteration of the rep system that's built into VB so we won't be able to have both systems at the same time. That's just my guess from having tried it before, but I can ask X or Pseudo to see if it would be possible to get them both to work. I know that simply enabling it from the admin control panel won't work because I've done it before. You will see the bars in the post-bit, but adding rep to someone won't have any effect.
As far as the like button, personally I think it's kinda gay and is not really suited for the type of site this is. It's more suited for a forum where people ask questions and give advice and you can like their answers etc. It would be easy to add with a plugin. However, I'm weary of adding any new plugins to the site right now for one major reason. We usually test out plugins on the test site which is an exact mirror of this site before we install them. The reason is that plugins can sometimes be incompatible with other plugins or hacks we already have running and installing the wrong plugin can ruin a site. But the test site is on VB5 right now because we are working on the upgrade there, so I won't be able to test any plugins there in the meantime. Alternatively, in the meanwhile, we have the facebook like button in the first post of every thread. We can make it so that it's on every post and like posts that way if y'all want.
