I'm not sure it's the right application for a website like this. The purpose of having a "like" feature is to allow the user to find the most popular item in a set of data (statuses, videos, forum posts, whatever) right? But how often is the most popular post actually the post you're looking for in a thread? More often, you may want the post with the correct answer to the OP's question, or whatever post actually continues an otherwise interesting discussion. I think the most popular posts often wouldn't be either of those, just a Monty Python quote, troll, joke, or flame.
For some forums that operate with a bit of a "support" aspect, I'd actually rather see the option for a user to be able to mark a solution to their problem as correct, as in some tech support forums.
