    I think that if we post something that gets thanked, we should be paid by boards, 1 cent per thanks. Boards can pay us by paypal once each financial year.

    No because people could just set up an alt account and thank every post they've ever posted.

    The fact that you took his proposal seriously is worrying.

    But it would encourage people to post only worthwhile and/or thoroughly amusing things, while at the same time helping us all through the recession. A win-win situation.

    We could change the name of the site to ThanksWhoreAThon.ie

    Also the site would go bankrupt.




    Maybe I'd finally get some work done.

    It'd bring new meaning to the term "Thanks Whore!"

    You actually wouldn't be able to do that, you wouldn't be able to set up so many paypal accounts under different names.

    How about you deposit €20 and lose 1c for every post that DOESN'T get thanked. Once you reachh 0c you can't post anymore.

    And lose €1 for every thread you start which is deemed stupid!

    You'd be outta here so fast.............

    How about members can donate €1 for 100/€2 for 200... etc to boards.ie for being able to post a SPECIAL created "thanks" to other members - and all money collected goes to charity!

    That's a great idea........ but this is AH!

    Actual great ideas in AH should be punishable by a banning, unless they contain a clever pun!

    You're either drunk or insane. Or a genius. Or an insane drunk genius.
