    Also, fair play getting it going on the mobile site!!

    You get a call wishing you well from DeVore and co. You used to get a hooker and some coke but the recession and all, etc.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Im guessing its to 'thank' someone if they answer a question or help someone out but people (myself included) use it as a 'like' button instead :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    For every 1000 you get, you get to ban one person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,881 ✭✭✭TimeToShine


    I vote that we make the OP's post the most thanked this week!

    Person with the most thanks in 10 years gets a euro deposited in your bank account, ( taxable) from the Government, helps you from suffering too much from the necessary hardship needed to impress our new overlords, the bond holders.

    Dam!

    Why can't I 'thank' myself silly?

    You also get your pick of the boardettes. Kinky they are

    It's a way of agreeing with someone's point of view without clogging up the thread with quotings and "+1"

    tbh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    Just means you agree with their opinion or think their post is interesting it saves a lot of unnecessary quoting.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    Is augmerson just thanking every post?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,667 ✭✭✭policarp

    When someone explains it to you, will you explain it to the rest of us please?

    3000 odd more and I'll be on celebrity bainisteoir next year. Kicking the heart out of that dude from Crystal Swing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 226 ✭✭Mr Tim Buktoo


    So not even one lucky bag no.
    Coz i have seen it said to other posters that they are just posting something in order to get thanks for it!
    do you people really do this.
    so many nerds out there.

    Mclovin comes to mind

    It's designed to freak out people who over-analyse things. Those who get particularly riled about it and whinge about thanks-whoring etc (and ironically how that's nerdy and obsessive) tend to have very few thanks themselves. This angers them. It might be remedied by the odd constructive post though.

    The number of thanks you receive is equivilant to the number of wánks you have while pressing F5

    Me thinks you are spending too much time on here.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Oh yeah, going on and on and on about post count and mods is another characteristic. I already was a mod, but thanks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,160 ✭✭✭Kimono-Girl


    i thank posts i agree with,that make me laugh, or post where they say what i wanted to say before me! (that happens alot on here, im convinced some boardsies can read my mind :eek:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    If someone quotes your post, instead of replying with "OMG, Lulz, I know what you mean" you can just thank them.

    I've never gotten post of the day, in the rare moments I make a decent post some stupid photo of a bridge or a baby or something gets tons and tons of thanks

    It basically a challange to see how many 'likes' you can get before your thread is moved to the cuckoos nest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Anybody notice it now says how many thanks a post got in the bar beside it!- what will they think of next!! :)

    Have they?
    Probably because it's on the mobile version. Handy to have it on the main site too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb
