    It sucks and you don't use thanks. That's kind of rude.

    The thank button is what divides us from the animals

    Its the glue on which your whole standard of living and soceity depends on

    If you support the thanks button

    :mad::mad::mad::mad:
    Thank my post

    Also you know if you type your password in to a comment it'll be automatically spoilered and deleted? Amazing stuff.

    No way, I don't believe that.


    If I were to type *********** it would just show up as ***********.

    First you want to take away our "Thanks" button, what's next? Will the "thumb's up" button be next on your crazy-ass hit list? Who will you have to put on the chopping block after that? This harmless little fellow
    > :pac:

    Where will it end?

    Oh, I see you have less than 5,000 posts. You see, when you reach 5,000 posts a second, similar button appears beside the one you can see. It's subtle but very effective.

    Everyone likes knowing if people agree with their post sometimes, but other times people just like to get thanked off for pleasure.

    Or... copy and paste:

    javascript:void($("[title='Thanks']").click());

    into your URL bar and press enter to thank everyone!

    heh... on another forum I frequent we have a thanks, agree, disagree, groan, Pie (dunno, community meme that annoys me) a Hug and, my favourite, a Go fu*k yourself with a rusty screwdriver button.

    it's great because you can annoy the people you dislike without having to even post :)

    It'd make more sense to be able to switch seeing thanks off in the options. That way you wouldn't have to see graphic proof of the absence of popularity.
