How often do you check your thanks?

jumpguy

If you spent a day on After Hours, you'd know we're all just a bunch of thanks-whores, and that's why this forum is a crazy place. Who can get in the first well-thought-out debate, good point, witty joke? So I'm curious to see how often ye all check your thanks.

So me first, and I'll be honest. I check my thanks a good bit, maybe once every 30/40 minutes of browsing boards.

Every 30/40 mins is excessive to be honest, I check every 4 hours or so. I'm not a thankswhore anymore TBH!

thomond2006

Once a day.

I need a doctor...:o

whenever I think of it...

I also check my Thanks : Posts ratio.

The OP's is 2.099:1, but mine is 3.75:1 yay

Thanked 5,144 Times in 1,786 Posts

I think the thanks system is kind of crappy (Well only on AH really) as it leads to so many terrible, vomit inducing puns in the first reply. These replys are then sent to christmas cracker factories everywhere in an attempt to ruin christmas. Therefore, by my deduction, thanks whores are actually grinches.

If you ask me (and nobody ever does) I would say no thanks to thanks and not have the facility at all. It just distorts many threads which might have potential. :mad:

That means for every 2 posts I make, I get 1 thanks.

For every 3.75 posts you make, you get 1 thanks.

I win at maths and thanks. :P

No, it's for every one post he makes he gets 3.75 thanks and you only get 2.099.

You fail at maths and thanks.

Ah I wish I'd replied first, then I'd have said something witty and got loads an loads of thanks....

I check it every so often though

seanybiker

I keep on forgetting about the thanks thing, mainly because 98% of my posts are on boards mobile and because I couldnt give a fiddlers really.

Err, I'm not sure about that one. Then if you multiply his posts by 3.75 you'd get his thanks. Doesn't work.

You fail at maths and thanks.

Thank the post and I'll tell you. :pac:

I don't post enough for it really to matter but I have a look most times I log in.

Is it not taboo to acknowledge the fact that you get thanked?

Anyway I check it a couple of times a day.

I tend to check what's been thanked rather than how often. With a post per day count of 4.9something, I'm not going to break any records.

Diabhal Beag

Once a week I suppose

Tar.Aldarion

Whenever I randomly wonder!

Queen-Mise

just checked mine and even worked out odds, 1 in 4 posts were thanked (I will not stand by my maths though). that was my first time checking.

Note to self: check again in approx dec 2011.....

After much consultation with the heads of state, Stephen Hawking, and Jako8, we've come to the conclusion that Timbuk2 is infact wrong.

You see Mr. Timbuk2, if you were correct. I'd have nearly double thanks to my post count. Two thanks for 1 post. You have the ratios the wrong way.


Calm down now people, CALM...

Sephiroth_dude

Every single day :pac:

Total posts/thanked posts ratio ftw!

You are both wrong. Timbuk2's calculation is the total number of thanks per posts with thanks.

The correct way to look at it is total thanks per total posts

Jumpguy = 1119/2965 = 37.7403%
Timbuk2 = 769/2079 = 36.9889%

So Jumpguy wins (just)

It was irritating me that they were both doing it wrong but I was too lazy to go working it out properly!

Only a n00b would say that.

Total posts since thanks came in/thanks posts ratio ftw tbh

Surely it is better to give, than receive:)

I am using boards for two years - thats all (well just under it)

brummytom

I check it a lot. I'm a very obsessive person - If my count goes up, I have to know which post(s) was/were thanked.

Well I need to know who to like don't I?

g-whizz

how do you check thanks?

smashey

Frada has his thanks statistics open on a separate tab and spends his day on F5.

He learned that from Dr. Bolloclko.

When did thanks start?
