Giving people "thanks" to old posts...

PC CDROM

do you do it?

I do.

One: I appreciate a good post, regardless of age.

Two: its a pain in the ass seeing new thanks and not knowing what post it came from.

Sort of subliminal trolling really.

Three: Take away the H and you have Tree. A much luved and abused resource.

I'm putting a clause in my will so that each member of Boards will have their most recent post thanked. You can't take it with you after all.

I prefer to murder gypsies in my spare time, people do different things, to each their own I say.

When I see I've one newly-thanked post and it's not a recent one, I'll trawl for hours through my posts to find it, usually to discover that I've no memory of writing it.

I think we should kill everyone on the dole, bloody scroungers.

This should hopefully get a few thanks.

Do you monitor your thanks? That's a bit sad...

aaronjumper

I do it. Sometimes if I'm bored I'll randomly look up old threads.
If I come across something that makes me laugh, smile or just that I agree with I'll thank it.

im invisible

I got bored and thanked every post on my other account

I'm playing a game with myself where I'm trying to get my post count to match my thanks count.

Currently 1447 behind so a lot of mundane stupid cringeworthy posts to look forward to from me. :pac:

You want your posts to catch up with your thanks!? My friend, you've got it all wrong!!

Only the one on your profile page when the thank count goes up. I check mine every five minutes, and if I've got extra thanks I'll check who thanked what post.
The better/better-looking the poster, the happier I am.

I just thanked one of your old posts there. Bet you can't figure out which one , I might unthank it in a while, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but some day

It's neither one of my most thanked, nor one of my most recent. I'm going to go with "lame attempt to make a joke posted within first week of signing up."
Whatever it was, if it wasn't thanked before now, it's not worth reading. :cool:
