    Well hi,

    There are some real 'thank whores' out there. I'm not one, but a few cheer me up. On the dailyfail site you can actually thank your own posts.

    Should boards allow us to thank our own posts (only once). I mean, we have all made absolutely mind blowingly deadly comments and responses on here and we should be allowed to high five ourselves.... an affectionate slap on our own arses.

    How many times have you posted something awesome and log in next day to see no thanks?'? It's like a slap in the chops. So we should have an option to get the ball rolling!!

    Who's with me????

    No.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    You'd want to be an awful thanker to make use of such a feature.

    A blonde calls up an airline. She asks, "How long are your flights from America to England?"

    The woman on the other end of the phone says, "Just a minute."

    The blonde says, "Thanks!" and hangs up the phone.

    Similar to a begger throwing a few coins in the cap to encourage others.

    I'm selling my thanks if anybody is interested?

    I think it's a good idea.

    It's basically like having a virtual ****.

    Get rid of the thanks and add a 'donate' button instead.

    Until such time as you can bring all your thanks down to Topaz and get a fill of petrol on the strength of it I think it's all a bit pointless.

    And sad.

    Oh you're that guy who likes his own Facebook posts aren't you...
    You can't high five yourself either,it just looks like you're weirdly clapping above your head.
    No matter how funny and witty you think you're being, your probably not.

    I don't agree with half the stuff I say, so why would I thank it?!

    Illness/depression posts? Sometimes you need to vent and hate the fact you have to do it on a public site.
