I was going to respond to @montag but I decided to wait and see what other members had to say.

We've really elevated the conversation now that we don't have a like button, haven't we? :facepalm:

the only way to get back likes is to restore from a Dec 29 backup and then pray that the unsupported third party add on that does the Likes isn't broken by some future version of our forum software. It was a rickety setup that we were lucky it worked for as long as it did. Adding it back in throws database errors and shuts PSF down. I have gone through the database tables by hand and removed every entry of the Likes system, and yet it still does this.

So you guys decide, we're fine without Likes just like pipe forums were 10 years ago, or we lose January 2024 forever and get Likes back, at least for a while.
I hope our names are touching on the watch list

No choice then, really. Sorry that they're gone, but it sounds too dodgy keeping them (that's even before you get into losing 2024). I hope it makes it a bit easier to maintain all of the back end stuff.
