    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.

    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 :)

    It's so that guys with a small penis can feel good about themselves.

    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.

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

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

    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
