I agree with Gary...

In honor of Dirtsailor, I hope there's a water related one in there. I have a feeling I may need one soon.

I liked that i could award points for great cooks and leave a message however i do really like that i can just like posts.. there has been quite a few posts that i thought were great and wished i could simply "like" them to give recognition of a great post

Perhaps both options?

I like the new system also but I miss the old emoticons too.

I agree on the more personal nature of the old Points system and it's ability to leave a message for the recipient and I liked the variety of the old emojis too.
But in the end I can live with either.

For what it's worth, I didn't like the old points and post count. It led to a small minority being way too competitive and trying to artificially boost their popularity on the forum.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the idea of being able to show appreciation for a thread, and also the addition of the little message that you could send along with the point, I just didn't like the ensuing popularity contest.

Agreeing with Squib, Gary, Chile,...... and others.
As a relative newb, it put a huge smile on my face and gave me a ton of confidence when a
long time/well respected member would give a point with a kind comment.
I never took it as a contest to see who can get the most points.
But when I received one, it sure felt good.
Thank You to all of you who commented on anything I did!!
It gave me a push to try more cooks and learn more.
I understand that we can receive comments in the post,
it's just not the same as the personal comment after the point.

Well said .
