<![CDATA[What Are "Thanks"]]>I couldn't find the answer quickly, so I just figure I would ask...

What are the "Thanks" all about? I see the button next to the reply/quote buttons.

Thanks (irony noted)

I mean, really...once in a year or two, somebody like me might

come up with something really good. But can you "Thank" yourself? NO. 🙄

But, Stan never promised us a rose garden.

It's just a gay little button that allows you to Thank a poster for his insightful, useful post. It mostly is used as a smart-ass reply, or a brown-nose attempt to gain a notch in life. It's even been used to fuel and cause wars and has been a topic of heated discussion in the past.

We keep it because it is controversal and dynamic ... but so cute.

Be careful with it, and don't misuse it!

Admin should consider additional buttons to streamline the smack volume, i.e:

'Blow Me'.......'Effing homo'....'Friggin IDIOT'.......'BQ is a fag'

I tend to use it on posts that I think are funny, or posts that I want to acknowledge in some way. If only we could thank our own posts...
