Just a random brainfart, not sure if it would be beneficial or feasible. What about having some measure of a count of total thanks for every post in a thread - showing up on the thread list on the forum?

What about having some measure of a count of total thanks for every post in a thread - showing up on the thread list on the forum? If the thread contains lots of thanks then it is a highly productive thread (maybe, who knows) and has a big shiny thumb next to the Views count on the right hand side. And if having a large thread with many replies means an obvious large amount of thanks, then it could be weighted to the amount of replies.

Just an idea, someone will probably counter it with a more appropriate reason not to have it.

Thanks does mean that a post is productive in some threads/forums but in most it means that someone posted somehting funny/smart or someone just got owned.
Posts which are thanked by a serious number of people are rarely productive imo
