I was going to mention the fact that Adam takes cash for likes. I gave him $100 for 500 likes. LOL You beat me to mentioning it. I was too slow today.

This metric only holds significance if you've maintained a consistent commenting rate since creating your account.
If all users stopped commenting tomorrow, everyone's likes-to-comment ratio would increase, but at different rates. Likewise, if I cut my weekly comment count in half, my ratio would also climb.
Another factor to consider is human bias. People tend to jump on the bandwagon, liking comments that are already highly rated or favoring users with a high likes-to-comment ratio. This is a form of groupthink.
If you've spent enough time on the forum, you’ll start recognizing who is genuinely helpful, who is trolling, who is angry, joking, strictly technical, personal, etc.
For these reasons, I believe the likes-to-comment ratio is mostly useless and doesn’t contribute anything meaningful to the community.

The converse is likely true as well. Some are hesitant to like a post if nobody else has liked it.

This strikes me as an (ahem) unlikely topic for excessive analytics.
Like this at your peril.

PS the determining factor vis-a-vis high like densities

It'd be a shame to be always so serious to the point where you get so heated you'd lose your cool. Share your findings of silly audiophile musings around the web or on the forums, so we can all join in on your suffering ;P

Yes, quite. Cogito ergo sum. Cave canem. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
LOL - thanks all
This is obviously not FB or IS, but I wonder how effectively or not are the members using the "like" or similar functions.
I don't have terrible score, but then feel that for the posts that are actually most meaningful, I get none. I am always "polite" and spread the likes as feel like people deserve them for participating in the thread, even if I don't necessarily fully agree with them.
Should I just withhold the likes and keep it for the buddies that like me as well? Or should there be some implied courtesy of liking the posts for the people that took time to post them?

If you like something and like to click like click like.
That simple? Might have been ages ago but people work on likes if you did not notice. And we have it in our profile.
For my part, and based on my experience, best is to keep it light and get the likes. Deeper you go and more knowledge you share, less will people will like you. Quite opposite of what one would want to see on this forum.
I would give you the usual like, but it’s a problem under the rug. So no like at this time mate.

Really?
I sense the like count is often inversely proportional to the word count.
I don't think one would, nor should, post to get likes. I am new here, and so far I have observed that the community takes care of the likes, no pun intended - rather well.
It's not social media, and it is nice to see people put work into their posts and provide valuable insights - which are liked, more often than not.

I find there's a tendency for posts with useful and technical information to get the most "likes". Take a look at the members of this forums with the highest "like" count have the deepest backgrounds in audio engineering. Except for that Boris Badinov guy, I have no idea what he's up to.

My "like" count is fine by me, I've been awarded the most "points" for this:

Hey! I'm on that list *barely.
Somebody dig up the top ten posts with the most likes, just for, uh, let's say, observation.
