Sometimes threads are really slow, especially in the sub-forums, and it's easy to forget about them a couple of days later. And even in busy threads. It's not about 'collecting updoots', but in fact to keep track if somebody actually replied to you and keep the flow of the conversation after intervals. In a thread like the Healer Strike, that gains multiple pages overnight, it's hard to keep getting back to replies and then not even guaranteed that the person you replied to will see that. And it happens because a thread's narrative is hardly linear, with different niches of conversation going at once, sometimes meaningless things about people just arguing about arguing.
