    You know when someone get's thanked for a post, well, does it mean anything.
    Does a 'Thanks' have a value. I'm not talking about a monetary value, but a value per se. Sometimes it can be people 'thanking' their 'friends' or like minded people.

    Well does it have a value, it it worthwhile.

    It stops a lot of people posting +1 posts, which is a good thing. Also, using thanks means you can say "Yeah I agree with that post" without having to bother posting. IMO.

    I cum in my pants everytime someone thanks one of my posts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    Or it means that someone found it funny. The +1 thing used to annoy me.

    Insurgent - I know the feeling.

    In After Hours, thanks means everything.

    It's very convenient. You can agree, thank, or just like a post without repeating comments from others or having to write a whole post yourself.

    So if a load of people thank your post, you'll die of dehydration?

    It's how I measure my worth as a human being.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old

    You do realise that no guy will ever 'thank' your posts again now, right?

    Course, you'll see a steep increase in the ladies ... and gay guys :p

    It makes me feel like I have some purpose in this messed up ol' world... The Dude abides (by Thanks)

    +1

    Just joking :)

    It's just really if someone finds a post amusing/agrees with what the poster is saying.

    Thanks on AH generally isn't so much "Thank You" as "I acknowledge that you've made the most stupid and obvious joke about the topic within the first 10 posts"


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    i thank people when i agree with them, or if their post makes me laugh, or if they have answered a question i asked them.

    I do exactly the same!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,255 ✭✭✭✭The_Minister


    I thank a post if its:

    Informative
    Interesting
    Amusing.

    I'd thank you but your post was #15 so I don't have to by your rules.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    or if they have answered a question i asked them.

    See, that bit always gets me.

    If I start a thread that has a question in it, do I thank ALL the replies?

    I mean, they are answering what I asked them.

    I can be a bit of 'Thanks Slut' on my own threads :)

    But I NEVER whore :mad:

    But, how does the reader know why you thanked a post, could one thank a post in an ironic manner?

    Thank you to all who replied btw, including the pants cummer:rolleyes:

    You can thank a certain person, say, 20 times in a day and then remove them all in one go leaving them wondering why their thanks count is running backwards and see if they'll go to feedback... :)

    I just thanked your post and then removed it.

    Its the same as pulling out early apparently.

    yes this is a conundrum, i suppose when you start a thread and the answers start flowing in, you kinda have to start gettin picky at some stage.

    Just say in the OP: thanks in advance for all the answers. Kind of a polite way to do it, maybe.

    Everytime a post is thanked a small child in Africa gets their wings.
