What kind of thanker are you?

xoxyx · 07-06-2010 12:24PM #1

I used to be a very picky thanker and only thanked if a post made me lol literally - some kind of actual noise had to emit; or if it was enough to make me stop and consider a point made. But, recently, I've been thanking posts that give me even just a little internal chuckle - those posts deserve thanks too I reckon!

So, what makes you thank a post. Or do you bother at all? Have you ever thanked out of pity or because you think it will make you look good to associate yourself with a post? Have you ever thanked to be controversial? Are there people in Boards that you thank because they're your friend or are you guilty of thanking a poster as a manner of flirting (I know of at cases of both of these!)?

What's more, I bet there are people out there who are thanking their socks off after the last Boards April Fools shenanigans. Not many people, but you'd be naive to think that there isn't at least one!

Hey - thanks!

I thank just to get my name out there.

edit: I've given 500 thanks since the 15th March.. I'm easily impressed.

If I find a post helps me in any way possible, it gets a thanks from me.

Also if it makes me laugh it shall warrant a thanks.

I read that as ''What kind of W*anker are you'' . . . :rolleyes:

I submit posts for analysis and consideration for thanking to a select group of international diplomats before deciding

I thank posts that make me laugh or that make a good point.

Midnight_EG · 07-06-2010 12:29PM

I love thanking, it gives me an enormous sense of well-being, I thank in the mornings, on Monday and on Wednesdays, sometimes on Tuesdays and maybe Fridays and the Weekend too.

I thank as much as I can, and as often as I can, I thank everyone I think deserves a thank, and hope they'll thank me too. Sometimes I'll thank based on how I'm feeling, what it contained or who the OP is.

I love thanking....

and innuendo.

Posts which help
Posts I agree with
Posts I am amused by
I thank lots. If I don't thank a post, it's probably pretty inane.

His last 500 thanks go back to 15th of March :P

I'll thank a good troll or something that makes me grin (sorry no lol's here). I'll also thank if I think of something mildly amusing to say but some fúcker beats me to it.

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

I said it last night, but its appropriate here, too... Ive never thanked a post. Is it not available on the mobile version?

No,it's not. Which is why my thanks count is probably very low!

bluto63 · 07-06-2010 12:41PM

I thank well constructed posts or ones that make me lol. I can be a bit picky at times

There's another one. Do you thank loads of people in the hope that they will remember you and thank you back? Christ - is there a thanks Mafia??

I thought this would be fairly simple to begin with, but I think thanks are a lot more organised than I realised.

Oh God yes, we organise massive thanking sessions in which we thank so much we literally explode with thanks!

Explosion happens site-wide, you can spot our names under people, it's where we're most effective at producing our produce

Seriously lack of thanking on this thread I've noticed.

bluto63 · 07-06-2010 12:46PM

I remember thanking someone once, I now have to stay home at the weekends keeping an eye on bluto64
