> IME bumping an old forum thread will, more often than not, result in other members getting annoyed at necroing a thread

Well, not in mine, in serious forums. Sure, gamer forums, and what have you.

> I have seen entirely too many "+1" posts on forums; people want to do something to show they like/agree with a poster even when they have nothing constructive to add.

They don't actually take away though, not like people downvoting, because they can't show something being incorrect, does, which I see happen all the time.
