    It's for people with low self esteem. Makes them feel better about themselves. bless.

    seeing as no one listens to me in the "real" world, getting thanks here means someone values my opinion :D

    A line of coke for every 100 Thanks. An evening with a hooker for every 1000 Thanks. This way you can work out your value in AH terms: for example I am worth 4 hookers and 3 lines of coke. Sorted :cool:

    I was going to thank all the posts with 0 but then I got tired after page 1
    Thanks can be traded in for prizes I hope?

    Tomorrow we'll have the Catholic bashing thread and Sunday the weather is promised to bring out the Good Friday-alcohol thread. Scatters of political incompetence threads may pop up Saturday but shouldn't last more than 3 pages.

    I was led to believe if I got enough "Thanks" I could trade them in for real cash :mad:

    I wrote to the National Consumer Agency but they told me to feck off and stop bothering them.

    You missed the 'karma' system they used to have then. Boy was that a $hit storm.

    Seems like "Thanks" is basically the same as a "Like" on Facebook. Doesn't get you anything tangible, just a small sense of happiness.
