    what does thanks mean? its a thanks that someone gives to show their appreciation, or thanking, of a comment you have made that they agree with or a piece of advice you may have given. but due to seeing some of your posts in the past, most of them must have been pity ones:D

    Think of internet coupons redeemable for sexual favours from the mods. I'm saving all mine up so I have enough for a Cleveland Streamer off of Micky_Dolenz, he's one of the more expensive ones but I'm sure he is worth it.

    basically if you see a comment that you disagree with or think is just stupid, you click the thumbs up yoke to symbolize that you hate them so much you want to shove your thumb up their arrsehole.

    It means you're not whoring enough. Your thanks count should be higher than your post count.

    You pay a euro to a charity of your choice for each thanks received. No, really.

    Jeasus... I've enough thanks to last me a lifetime of pints. Sounds good to me .....

    To answer the OP's original question it's as simple as "I agree with your opinion".

    I just got the ability to give thanks. I like giving it but hate reading threads were there is a debate and one person gets thanked loads.
