    If you spent a day on After Hours, you'd know we're all just a bunch of thanks-whores, and that's why this forum is a crazy place. Who can get in the first well-thought-out debate, good point, witty joke? So I'm curious to see how often ye all check your thanks.

    So me first, and I'll be honest. I check my thanks a good bit, maybe once every 30/40 minutes of browsing boards. :o

    Every 30/40 mins is excessive to be honest, I check every 4 hours or so. I'm not a thankswhore anymore TBH!

    I think the thanks system is kind of crappy (Well only on AH really) as it leads to so many terrible, vomit inducing puns in the first reply. These replys are then sent to christmas cracker factories everywhere in an attempt to ruin christmas. Therefore, by my deduction, thanks whores are actually grinches.

    If you ask me (and nobody ever does) I would say no thanks to thanks and not have the facility at all. It just distorts many threads which might have potential. :mad:

    That means for every 2 posts I make, I get 1 thanks.

    For every 3.75 posts you make, you get 1 thanks.

    I win at maths and thanks. :D :P

    No, it's for every one post he makes he gets 3.75 thanks and you only get 2.099.

    You fail at maths and thanks.

    Ah I wish I'd replied first, then I'd have said something witty and got loads an loads of thanks....

    I check it every so often though :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,898 ✭✭✭✭seanybiker


    I keep on forgetting about the thanks thing, mainly because 98% of my posts are on boards mobile and because I couldnt give a fiddlers really.

    Err, I'm not sure about that one. Then if you multiply his posts by 3.75 you'd get his thanks. Doesn't work.

    You fail at maths and thanks.

    I don't post enough for it really to matter but I have a look most times I log in.

    Is it not taboo to acknowledge the fact that you get thanked?

    Anyway I check it a couple of times a day.

    99% of people enjoy being thanked, the other 1% are just liars. Kinda like ****.
