Doesn't this kind of defeat the point of the feature, though? I'm under the impression that it would be a pet you come across, that you actually really like, so you... Like it. Beyond that, I don't think this feature actually ever does anything, nor do I think it was a "ranking." I know a lot of people wanted something like this, particularly in regards to if they already won the spotlight (or if they didn't want to enter it to begin with).
I mean, I don't think this thread is bad either, but if I have to look through someone's pets and chose one to like... Well, what if I don't actually like any of them? |D Then it seems a little superficial...? I think this thread might be better suited to be sharing already completed pets (or pets that are almost complete), vs. "like the pet of the person above you"? That way, people can have somewhat of a "cateloge" and they can look at and like peoples' pets at their own pleasure.
