I still think Free Republic’s interface is one of the cleanest websites out there. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but it is clean, functional, and light. I know a lot of folks have requested a ‘like’ feature, but I think it would reduce the actual participation on this site, since people could just ‘upvote’ something rather than comment on it.
I agree which is why I would like more
