How does a poster get thanked so much?

I mean Q do you not have a life?

Contrary to all appearances I do. This morning did a spot of shopping and had coffee with a neighbour. Shortly I'll be going out on one of my transport surveys on the Tube and will be back here (or in DT) at around 22:30 or 11:00.

Tomorrow however I'll only be able to grace this forum for a very short time as I'll be working all day. A breakfast mystery shop in Soho, a supermarket in Richmond and then more Tube surveys.

And how many posts did I make on this thread? Damn, getting sadder and sadder. :rotfl:;)

Ive no problem whatsoever with that (Though I still cant get my head around a 'virtual pub')

MY problem is people posting on the techie forum and wasting my time. No more, no less

Why would anyone posting here waste your time?

You don't have to come on this forum and read/post/help, do you?

Im just intrigued about your 'Mega Magnificent Maxi-Meticulous Uber-MoneySaving Magnate' badge

So how many posts does it take to get THAT accolade then? And is there anything (yet) above?

LOL the virtual pub is just one thread. The Arms is a board when people can start threads on any matter they want to discuss, trivial or serious that might be,. We all have some opinion of items of news, fashion, putting the world to right etc.

Every forum needs an area like that to keep the specialised boards free of irrelevancies and trivia. The Arms/DT fulfils that function in here. Some threads are quite informative and interesting, and some totally hilarious. There's a bit for everyone who just wants to chill and not talk about money related matters all the time.

There goes another post... :whistle:

You get the rosettes at around 55k posts - at least that's when I "found" mine. Kipper has them too. As for anything else above I have no idea, but let's say that my posting is not geared to reaching that elusive target, as my daily average is slowly diminishing, partly because trolling in DT has put me off a lot of otherwise sensible and interesting debates.

The initial question was about THIS thread ~
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2036087

How I work is I scan through the posts to determine in my mind what I 'may' be able to help with

The title is "ccleaner v2.25...."

I 'thought' it was a question on how to USE ccleaner

It wasnt. It was some a*se who tried to bump his thanks and therefore WASTE MY TIME (Along with EVERY post hes made on the techie thread)

How on earth did they make you waste your time? YOU make the choice to read, nobody else.

And they only got 1 thanks for it anyway
