I mean we've got cool stats like "Topics, Author, Replies, Views, Likes" etc, so why can't we sort the threads by those... maybe we could then see the "most liked threads" or the "threads with most repiles" etc. Is there a reason we don't have that ability?

because it would be easier to find a popular thread vs. having to hunt for it.... might make people do "bump" posts less often. I'd find it situationally useful at best, but I wondered if there was some reason. Maybe that reason is noone wants it. Maybe not. Curious.

CCP took an existing forum software and customized the looks and the back-end to interface with their existing infrastructure, but no new features were implemented. Therefore none of the suggested, really useful features got in.

That is a bit of a misunderstanding. The 'likes' column is just a sum of the likes given to various posts in the thread and not indicative of the OP or the thread in general.

Reason: mostly likely the 'why would you want to' and not seeing a good answer => not using manpower on that.
