The thanks pimping thread.

    So I see that thanks whoring thread season is upon us yet again. So I thought I'd get in while the ink was hot (that's totally a saying). But rather than the usual 'post your most thanked post so it shall be thanked not once, not twice, but trice more' style thread, I'm going all edgeways (that's totally a word).

    You see 'thanks whore' is where you sell your posts (and your soul) in exchange for thanks. But in this here thread you sell someone elses posts for thanks. You see what I did there? Yes? My friend? You see? Yes? Huh? Yes??

    So have you seen a post on your travels and thought to yourself "this is the reason boards.ie exists!" only, to your dismay on re-entering the thread 2 or 3 weeks later, find that it still has only two thanks (yours and that person that always seems to thank only the same posts as you {what's their game?})?

    Maybe it was in a low traffic forum but was insanely informative (insanely being the best kind of informative, let's be honest). Or maybe it was smack bang in the middle of a hard posting AH thread and was so scatterblastingly witty and off the cuff that you spit your coffee all over yourself and caused third degree burns to your genitalia with your inability to not laugh like a schizophrenic jackal on nitrous oxide.

    So, I think you all know exactly what I mean. Post the link to the post then maybe also quote the post in your post cause let's be honest no one is going to just click on a link that looks like anohter link. Quote that sh1t, pimp that post, spread the butter.


    Jesus...
