How are you with your "Thanks"

    I'm sitting at home looking in to the abyss and i started to think about my "Thanks"

    Now not my offline "Thanks" my Boards "Thanks"

    I found when i joined i thanked every second post. Now i find myself giving them away very scarcely as if i feel it should really be deserved.

    How do you feel when you think you did a "funny" on boards and you don't get a thanks? Does it make you feel sad? Do you get angry and say "fcuk boards"? Or when you do a "funny" and get a dozen "Thanks", does it make your day? Do you tell your mates/mrs/family?

    Are you in a clique, where you thank the same poster regardless what they post? I have noticed a female trio always seem to "Thank" each others posts.

    Anyway, tell me how you manage your "Thanks"

    PS
    This is not Fegelien and i am also sober

    Not Fegelien maybe but clearly you are trying to be EmmetSpiceland. Stop copying his posting "style".

    I take it to heart if I don't get at least two thanks per post. They fuel me for the day.

    I, personally, “thank” any post I agree with or that I find funny, even if I don’t agree with it.

    Obviously, I’ll “thank” any that answer I question I’ve asked or that’s providing a correction to something I’ve posted.

    Anyone who claims they don't get some little bit of satisfaction or happiness from a post getting double figure thanks is lying.

    I thank the last post I read on any thread - so when I come back I know which post I stopped at.

    So I use it as a book mark - and it has nothing much to do with what I thought of the post itself.

    This exactly. If its funny, I don't care how horrendous the content is, its getting thanked.

    I personally get a mini orgasm when somebody likes my post, if a famous boardsie likes one of my post I start shivering with excitement and I can feel goosebumps all down my body and I'm become powerless as I orgasm multiple times.

    What about you op

    If I make an involuntary snort/laugh sound I will thank a post, even if that post is very bold indeed. It's a little upvote from my diaphragm.

    I gave op a pity thank

    I'm not thanking anyone else in this thread unless it is for a spectacularly epic post

    That is all

    Posts I may thank:

    Posts I find funny.

    Posts that are well articulated that I agree with.

    Posts that are well articulated that I don't agree with.

    Posts that are informative.

    Posts where posters have gone to the effort of imparting useful information.

    The odd pity thank.

    I notice that CDQ has quite a different approach to 'thanking' than you in this thread. ;)

    When a mod thanks your post you know you're suckin' diesel :pac:
