    Yeah i feel scammed tbh. I was told that the women would throw themselves at me when i got new stars. Here we are 18 months down the line and 478 bans under my belt and i didn't even get a side boob pic.

    Fuck you Dev and fuck you boards.

    I'm out.

    That's one of the best bits of boards - the witty smart ass comments make AH worth coming to and staying on all day and if it's funny then they deserve thanks.

    Yeah but I think she meant that people actually rush in to get the first comment and got lots of thanks; not just about the smart-ass replies in general.

    Even so - what's wrong with that? The early bird catches the thanks, or something like that.

    Obviously so the can put it on their CV!

    Interviewer - So it say here you havent worked since 2006!

    Mod - well technically yes, put as you can see I moderated a thing called after hours, it was really tough, I was like the police of the internet!

    Interviewer - Right.................we'll be in touch!
    Lul.
    I don't think I'd do it anyway, not on this website anyway. Maybe on youtube or something.
    Thumbs up for youtube?

    thank whoring does happen - and so does second post syndrome - everybody knows if your comment isnt on the first page you dont get thanked as much!!

    Thanks whoring fine but come on... isn't it a bad sad to try to get as much thanks as possible? Unless you're a moderator, then you get paid for the thanks you are given.

    No it isn't and if you disagree with me you're a paedophile

    That's idiotic, but so funny!

    Lul, I really dont think people care too much about getting thanked.
    They're not going to be thinking about it the next day or anything are they.

    People were giving smart answers long before the thanks button was introduced.

    ah no i don't think you do really, i mean, if i make a point or joke or something and come back to see its been thanked, for a second im think oh that's nice, people agreed with me. But then I'll probably never think of it again.

    I was joking. :P

    It is nice to see you got a post thanked. I like when I'm drunk, post and see that it was thanked the next day; makes me think "maybe I should be drunk 24/7 since I get more likes" :P

    How about a Conspiracy Theories sub-forum - "Boards.ie Conspiracy Theories"? It might work as a corner for discussion of all the paranoid whinges concerns re Boards.ie specifically - e.g. mods, thanks (and all the concerns associated with it, such as "thanks-whoring" and "second post syndrome"), post count, whether mods/admins get paid, etc.

    How about the conspiracy that you an Mickey Dolenz are the same person.

    Now, there's a thinker.

    Please, I already have it in my head that's she a girl; the last thing I want is to get back into the cross dressing thoughts again, that's too soon.

    I see the free mason boardsies have changed the topic - they're afraid I'm on to something -

    Heres my conclusion so far - mods get money for the thanks they get - So thats why all the mods appair to be unfunny idiots, its so boards doesnt lose too much revanue! - Also mods are told to belittle this topic as idiotic so as not to raise suspicions! - Mods are told to suscribe or else they're de-modded -

    BOARDSIES if I'm banned or you dont hear anything make sure you get this evidence to the Daily Mail!!!!
