    I see what you did there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,582 ✭✭✭✭TheZohanS


    As it is you have a ratio of 1 thanks per post, don't think you need anyone's help.

    Write good posts, they get the most thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,500 ✭✭✭The Davestator


    Don't write fap, yore Ma or Atari. Once you don't mention those unfunny words, you'll be in with a chance of a thanks from me!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    A good 1st page pun usually gets thanked quite a lot I've noticed.

    People seem to like a pun.


    Edit: You have as many thanks as posts whatya complainin' bout?

    The first rule of becoming a thanks whore is never to ask how to become a thanks whore.

    It's like becoming a boards.ie mod...

    You count your thanks everyday?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    post stuff that has no relevance to the thread title, or pick on someone's spelling mistakes.

    Or pretend to be a chick and post blokey things. Works for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,990 ✭✭✭JustAddWater

    You dont??


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 687 ✭✭✭headmaster


    I appreciate you can't be like me, do try though and then see the huge amount of thanks you'll get ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    Say up the ra in AH
    Say I hate the ra in AH
    Say I love Jesus in Christianity
    Say the pope's a paedo in A&A

    post in the nest, sarky will thank you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,133 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Register under the new alias "Thank Whore."

    But you don't get to build up a huge thanks quota after you get banned.




    (in theory)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭Chris P. Bacon


    You dont??

    No.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 45 Captain Limerick


    Some good jokes you need to be makin'
    Cos the thanks are there for the takin'
    Perhaps try a style that's unique,
    Or find a new way to speak.
    But writing limericks is already taken.

    You made a fair stab at that.

    Or the other way around, for me.

    What I've noticed about my most thanked posts that aren't in YLYL, don't tell someone they are an idiot instead tell them why they are an idiot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Be unique and original OP...just like everybody else .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭Bipolar Joe


    1) Be funny. This is mostly open to interpretation,
    2) Agree with someone.

    Forget about standing up for what you believe, assume the general consensus, here here.

    Well actually you probably shouldn't, being concise helps.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Most importantly OP Nevah , Evah volunteer for anything .

    I'm sure you're thoroughly enlightened on how to get more 'thanks' now, OP. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 550 ✭✭✭earpiece


    The trick is DON'T be yourself.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭John Doe1


    WRITE IN BIG LETTERS

    Have sex with people in exchange for 'thank'.
