Who has the highest thanks to posts ratio on Boards.ie?

Mr Rhode Island Red

Just wondering about who here on boards has the most thanks received with regard to their total number of posts?

There is no facility to search for this as far as I know, so I thought it would be intriguing for people to nominate themselves (or others) for the title.

Now I know that somebody with 1 post that received 10 thanks would be well up there, so perhaps we could limit this search to members with more than 100 posts, to make it a bit more accurate and fair.

Just so everybody is on the same page, to calculate your thanks to posts ratio, go to your profile and divide your "total posts" figure into your "total thanks" figure, and include it in your post.

(total thanks/total posts)

I'll get the ball rolling with a dismal...0.348 thanks per post

Sky King

Probably MT Cranium, whose eponymous cranium is far from MT.

Though every day he does MT it of its daily charge of meteorological information in the weather forum to a medley of thanks.

He's a smart guy, and it's cool that he posts so much for other people. But I literally read every post on the Most Thanked page except MT Cranium's.

Dev surely must be up there with 2,500+ thanks for a single post.

Why is it called "thanks" anyway? Shouldn't it be "like"?

Poster A: Man goes into a bar... blah blah blah...
Poster B: hahahahahahahaha thanks!

Mr Rhode Island Red

Just want to be really petty for a second and point out that posts that didn't receive thanks also must be calculated.

So it's not the figure in the same line as the thanks that are used, it's the total posts below your user name in a thread that is used. Sorry for not being clear about that.:o

For my profile, it's 63 divided by 185, not 63 divided by 46

Maybe you should get extra credit for thanks generated from your own effort.:pac:

779 now

Some people are miscalculating. It's total posts divided by number of times thanked.

For me at the time of writing, it's 3572 / 761 = 4.7

bnt

8,200 thanks over 8,000 total posts, so I suppose I'm ahead overall. I'm curious about how common that is?

Anyone up for a good old fashioned thanks invasion? Link to a random post in a quiet forum and we all thank it. For example here - guys response to thread 'need to buy carpet for floor of a 2010 ford mondeo'. Let's give him the thanks he deserves.

Well that now is a very interesting post and deserves a big thumbs up thanks alright.

But we're derailing this thread now

There was a thread before where some lad was talking about parking available in Galway, it got something like 100+ thanks, I couldn't stop laughing every time I looked at it. Peoples reactions were the best part, they couldn't understand what was happening.

I'm not usually one for the whole 'thanks' thing, and sometimes I think a post deserves more than just a +1, or a thank or a like, and that post was one of them.

Thank you both very much, definitely worth the read and the deserved high number of thanks.

Agreed. Or a "thumbs up". Never understood the "thanks" name for it.

It's like, "thanks for explaining it so well" or, "thanks for saving me from writing that" or, "thanks for that story, I lol'd", etc.

Although "like" would seem to make more sense, overall.
