    Who's got the highest posts to thanks Ratio on Boards.ie
    I reckon it's M.T. Cranium
    his stats are currently:
    Thanked 88,075 Times in 4,300 Posts
    This means his average posts was thanked 20.48 times

    Is there anyone who has a higher average thanks per post?

    What's your own 'thanks per post?'

    Mine is currently
    Thanked 3,314 Times in 916 Posts
    or an average of 3.6 thanks per post.

    4 thanks per post on average
    It's better than mine, but not quite as good as MT Cranium

    Not that Post to Thanks ratio is something that matters in the slightest, but shouldn't you be including all your posts rather than just the ones that were thanked?

    When "thanks" become legitimate currency I'll worry about how many I have.

    a system which has "i read your post" as a means of organising heirarchy aint worth shi1t

    Interesting: Thanked 7,016 Times in 1,652 Posts
    So that makes it 4.25 thanks per thanked post.

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank the thankers :D

    I guess that means that I only get thanked every 6th or 7th post, so the most of what I write is just drivel :(

    Surely it's more of a "I read and agree with/was somewhat amused by/want to have intercourse with your post"?

    Ah, I've messed up completely. You're right.
    My actual 'score' is 3,314 thanks in 4,299 posts which makes me feel rather less appreciated with only 70% of my posts on here being thanked by anybody.

    Thanked 37,191 times.

    Do we get prizes, entry to exclusive clubs, coupons for Tesco out of these? Are they redeemable? Can I cash my thanks in?

    Wait till the ladies here this:

    Me: "Yea, I've nearly 40k thanks on Boards"

    Woman: *shudder*

    Me: "You.........you ok?"

    Woman: "I just came when you said that!"

    I bet the OP is positively boiling over with frustration that he hasn't gotten a single thank in this thread yet.

    Thanks to the thankers from the thankee. At least it's only MOST of what I write that is complete horse balls.

    I'd say it depends on what forums you post most often, if you were to post a lot in YLYL you'd have a pretty high post thank ratio compared to posting somewhere more serious.

    It means you have to pay more to help the servers bare the weight of all those thanks!

    I think the general rule of thumb on after hours is:

    OP gets 0 thanks
    first sarcastic comment gets 50 thankses
    First comment agreeing with the op but adding nothing to the discussion gets 20 thankses
