    I've only ever received about 3 or 4 of the f*ckers so I ain' gettin rid of those valuable little things! Its rare I ever say something smart, or contribute! :(

    No, never. Thanks is a sacred thing that should never be removed. Especially now that we're in a recession and it being the season of good will, we don't have money to buy eachother presents, we should just tick the button instead.

    @Bman - You have 79.

    Several times, when I was so angry with what I'd just read I hit the thanks button instead of the quote button.... Grrrr!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Click on the statistics tab.

    And he's on about the thanks you have given someone else.

    Sometimes, I'm not sure though. There's probably a very good reason for it though.

    Your is actually in minus figures:D


    Only joking you have 119 (its in your profile)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Bob the Builder


    I removed them once or twice... but the way I see it, you can't just thank someone and then tell them to feck off two weeks later for the same comment.... so why do it here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    wow, i've 81! I forgot how much i rock! I never pay attention to the thanks thing anyway, except when about 20 people thank somebody for absolutely nothing, like saying "WTF" as the first reply in a thread.

    We should bring back rep points!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    Once when I threw a little tantrum and wasn't thinking straight. Oh yessss....... I'm mean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Once or twice, clicked the wrong button.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I've thanked the wrong person a few times and have had to remove thanks.
    I wouldn't want people who write crap/uninteresting posts thinking that I actually consider them worthy of my precious thanks now would I?

    Oh I see what's happening here.
    Trying to make people feel sorry for you so you'll get more Thanks?
    Well The_B_Man, if that is your real name, you certainly won't be getting any thanks from me sir. Unless it's ironic thanks.

    So there.

    Yep, unless you get the comment in nice n' early you havent much hope of getting 'multi-thanked' (at least not in AH anyway)

    *searches for 'virgin' threads so I can post the first reply, then come back later when I've taught of something witty to say, edit the post, look really clever and get loadsa thanks*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    I've never received ironic thanks.....:(

    Dude you signed a NDA when you went on that course. Divulging pure gold thanks whoring strategies like that to others is not cool. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    I HATE thanks! Please dont give me any!! You'll totally piss me off if you give me thanks! The more i get, the more pissed off you'll all get me!! So dont thank me....


    /sits back and waits...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    Ironic thanks is worse than no thanks.
    It may add to your thankscount, but you'll have died a little inside knowing that E-warriors are taking the piss out of you.

    Done. :cool:

    Removed thanks once or twice because I'd meant to press the quote button instead, and I think maybe once because I re-read the post and realised it didn't deserve any thanks.

    I removed one from Bman as he has millions, I will do it more frequently too...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Usually because I was looking for the quote or report buttons (yes I know it's on the other side but I'm not that much of a rat).

    You have 84 thanked post's and not 3 or 4 as you have implied.

    I have removed my thanks.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,889 ✭✭✭evercloserunion


    Forgive my noobish self, but... thanks?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    Only when I accidentally click the "Thanks" instead of the "multi-quote" button by mistake when I'm tired or not full watching what I'm doing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 184 ✭✭Shmuck


    I thanked the mod in this thread (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055413414) after he deleted my post and banned me in the soccer access request forum. I thanked him sarcastically, in the same way Wayne Rooney claps referees who give him a yellow card, then realised he probably wouldn't "get" this so removed the thanks.

    Cause it's After Hours, that's why!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Yes. Some posts you should remove your thanks. And maybe give it to them, so that you can remove it :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,473 ✭✭✭R0ot


    many many times


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    Forgive my noobish self, but... thanks?
    The thumbs-up button on the bottom-right of a post. It's used to say "thank you", "Oh my, I do agree", "I'd roide ya if you were here", etc.

    I 'thanked' you so that obviously means I'd roide ya if you were here.
