    Yes, but there are some of us with brains that can tell the posts that are clearly asking for thanks (like this one for example) from the sensible ones which deserve praise. ;)
    Ok.

    Sensible and AH.. hmm.

    I like the Thank system, so much so I ask other vB forums I use to implement it. Its grrrrreat!

    You sure? I thought it was? Or is this something about it not being a prime number cos it can't multiply with itself (I can't either yet, but the research is ongoing)

    It's just by definition really. Don't dwell on it too long. As I said, all these thanks will be gone soon. :cool:

    I think the only way you can get rid of all the thanks is by deleting the thread completely, which will have serious reprecussions for my research.

    That is true, but won't deleting this also go towards to making you a thankless person? :P

    All prime numbers can be divided by two numbers, one can only be divided by one number, this is why it isn't a prime.

    I'm anti the thanks system. I think we should abuse it and just thank everybody all the time :)

    I've been using the Thanks button when someone's said something I generally agree with, but am too lazy to compose a post of my own.
    Is that degrading the thanks system?
