Posts to Thanks ratio

Akrasia

Who's got the highest posts to thanks Ratio on Boards.ie
I reckon it's M.T. Cranium
his stats are currently:
Thanked 88,075 Times in 4,300 Posts
This means his average posts was thanked 20.48 times

Is there anyone who has a higher average thanks per post?

What's your own 'thanks per post?'

Mine is currently
Thanked 3,314 Times in 916 Posts
or an average of 3.6 thanks per post.

Aoifey!

Mine is Thanked 5,063 Times in 1,257 Posts. Is that good or bad?

4 thanks per post on average
It's better than mine, but not quite as good as MT Cranium

Not that Post to Thanks ratio is something that matters in the slightest, but shouldn't you be including all your posts rather than just the ones that were thanked?

When "thanks" become legitimate currency I'll worry about how many I have.

a system which has "i read your post" as a means of organising heirarchy aint worth shi1t

jester77

Interesting: Thanked 7,016 Times in 1,652 Posts
So that makes it 4.25 thanks per thanked post.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the thankers

I guess that means that I only get thanked every 6th or 7th post, so the most of what I write is just drivel

Maximus Alexander

I've had 0 thanks in 12,048 posts. Lower is better, right?

Surely it's more of a "I read and agree with/was somewhat amused by/want to have intercourse with your post"?

Ah, I've messed up completely. You're right.
My actual 'score' is 3,314 thanks in 4,299 posts which makes me feel rather less appreciated with only 70% of my posts on here being thanked by anybody.

No, you come second.

Duggy747

Thanked 37,191 times.

Do we get prizes, entry to exclusive clubs, coupons for Tesco out of these? Are they redeemable? Can I cash my thanks in?

Wait till the ladies here this:

Me: "Yea, I've nearly 40k thanks on Boards"

Woman: *shudder*

Me: "You.........you ok?"

Woman: "I just came when you said that!"

I bet the OP is positively boiling over with frustration that he hasn't gotten a single thank in this thread yet.

I feel under-appreciated

Thanks to the thankers from the thankee. At least it's only MOST of what I write that is complete horse balls.

I'd say it depends on what forums you post most often, if you were to post a lot in YLYL you'd have a pretty high post thank ratio compared to posting somewhere more serious.

You've exactly 1:1 post thank ratio, do you have OCD?

It means you have to pay more to help the servers bare the weight of all those thanks!

I think the general rule of thumb on after hours is:

OP gets 0 thanks
first sarcastic comment gets 50 thankses
First comment agreeing with the op but adding nothing to the discussion gets 20 thankses

Close but not quite. The AH rule is that, on any half decent thread, any post on the first page gets dozens of thanks. Thanks on subsequent pages follow the inverse square law.

Senna

The way to gauge it should be by percentage, total number of posts divided by number of posts that were thanked. Number of thanks should be irrelevant.
Mine is probably about 10%
So 9 out of every 10 posts is pure drivel.

not bad I suppose, 99% of that is waffle though, maybe you're all easily pleased :pac:

FaceKickBook.

In my best hipster impression, some of us posted on boards before thanks even existed.

biko

Thanked 34,911 times, then again I have 42,926 posts so less than a thank per post.
.7 or so ratio I believe.

Who cares?

Thanks are like blowjobs, fcuk all good for paying for a carton of milk.

Can we start converting thanks into bitcoins?

You're still doing this wrong.

You have made 4,306 posts. You've been thanked in 916 posts. So, approximately 21% of your posts have been thanked by anybody.

You've made 4,306 posts. You've been thanked 3,314 times. So, on average, each of your posts has been thanked 1.3 times.

Is there any truth in the rumour that a face kicker was a drinking challenge back in 2005 before The Runs ( banking crisis)?

So because you can't buy a carton of milk with a blow job.. this means they're bad somehow?
