My heartfelt thanks!

Firstly let me apologise for starting a thread that doesn't directly have anything to do with the HD2. I'd just like to thank the guys/dolls here at xda for their patience and help with all of my posts! I know this is going to sound like an Oscar acceptance speech, but I'd like to thank conantroutman, wilco, sevoflurane, M3PH, kurt-willems, co0kieMonster, Chainfire, dhruwal, Unit ZERO and MichelDiamond for their advice and seminal apps (sniff-sniff). I love you all!

not sure what I did but your welcome.......

You're far too modest. You were the first member to welcome me and give me the low down on how to search for the info I was looking for. I just wanted to air my appreciation because your help and guidance are much appreciated.

Just a quick ? about saying "Thanks"...

Ok so basically, this is a rant for all forums not specifically this one...but I've noticed in a lot of the threads I read through people asking this or how to do that or can someone do this or where can I find that...now imagine how easy it is to click the thanks button the forum developer put on posts, hell even saying thank you in the thread??? Alot easier than it was for someone to take the time to answer your question or help you out?
I see this all the time on all the forums...
So why is it that most people don't do it?? Serious question? Has it come down to just being a gimme gimme gimme world? And trust me with 6 kids in my house I understand that...but my 2 year old neice says bless you when you sneeze or thank you for whatever reason it is deserved??
So why is it that some grown ass men or women or even teenagers on these forums can't even say thanks? Lol. That thanks button is there...well atleast my view on it...so that when someone gives me advice or a suggestion I see they have been thanked umpteen times or however many times and I'm like well this person seems credible? And it may not seem like it to everyone, but to me it kind of makes you feel good that you helped someone and they took the time to thank you Seriously people...we need to start thanking those that deserve it!!
And again this was a rant for all the forums I frequent not this one, not any specific thread, and not about me getting thanks because I dont care if I do or don't...I'm not a Dev, I'm not a Themer, I'm just a guy that visits forums and passes along info and knowledge I've recieved from people that I have thanked
And this will be on the other forums I frequent also since not everyone is on XDA
Thanks for reading
Now what are your thoughts
Edit** And for those that say I use forum "X"s app and there isn't a thanks button but I thank later from a computer, this isnt about not getting thanked right away...just not getting thanked at all **

I think people asking those questions over and over don't even know it...
If it was a little more in your face they would probably press it like after you reply it should ask ...would you like to thank?

Thank you!

This is the part I agree with the most. Even from the phone, hit menu on the XDA app, browser, and thank the person helping you.

Thank you...I too get a little irked when you spend a couple of days working with someone, fix their issue and then they are gone. BTW I thanked you!

Honestly, I liked XDA better when there wasn't a thanks button, then people wouldn't complain about it being used

Thats a great suggestion but I think then people would complain about it being in your face, like trying to make you thank someone. Which you never have to do. You aren't required to thank anybody...
That's why it makes people feel good when they are actually thanked Because you actually took the time to let me know I helped you

Thanks for sharing your opinion and that is one of the exact reasons for this post...the lack of the common courtesy!

Appreciate your honesty but again in my post I said it's not about the thanks button not being used
Even though I can point out I don't know how many posts in a single ROM thread that a person has an issue or question and it is answered or solved and like stated above...they are gone ...it's not about the button...but the lack of the common courtesy of saying thank you
*thanked for your honesty

IDK, one of my biggest pet peeves are people who are like panhandling for "thanks". The people who say "don't forget to thanks if I helped you" and things like that. To me its a meaningless number under my username. I guess its nice knowing you helped someone by them "thanking" you, but 99% of the time that I help a person, they actually write out a comment to me thanking me for helping them.
Yea, its a rude move not to thank a person that is helping you, but I don't help people for thanks. I help people because if I know something that can help them, I can make their day/life a tiny bit easier and then someone else will do the same for me.

That's exactly it! It's not about the thanks button lol Everyone is refering this to that lol
I only referenced the number because like I said...why is it really there? I think to let others know that you've been a help to someone previously....
It's about the lack of the common courtesy
That's why in my sig it says if "someone" has helped you not me! lol If you say thanks in a post back great! If you click the button cool! Just thank the person helping you somehow!
Edit: And thats another thing its about paying it forward I'm always helping people on the side of the road, or getting off the top of their cars during a flood...But unless they thank you how do you know that you helped them?
Edit: Maybe I should change my sig to say Thank them not hit the button

Your sig is great. People should thank those that help them and giving people a general reminder is a good thing.

Part of not getting thanks is xda's 5 thanks per day and the other part is people prefer the app when the browser works quite well....its all I use to post and I always post from my phone.

Yep, I do 99% of my XDA browsing on my phone. That app is too nice.

give thanks
I give thanks when thanks are do and honestly it does not have to be through a button nor in a post typically i will direct pm the person i am thanking and do so that way even for something small.

You are 100% correct on that his app made it so easy its not funny!

Agreed.
The devs are the ones that deserve all the credit & thanks!! All I did was point you in the right direction.
Many devs have a donate button or link in their signature or avatars with which you can send donations. Also, there is a 'Thanks' button on each post if you want to thank some's post.
Enjoy & Good luck- Android is fun.

did a thank you to post to c2k for his work it made rooting so easy it wasn't funny. his iconiaroot1.3 mad it so easy i could not believe. KUDOOS to him outstanding work......;-}

Thank you g.lewarne!!!!!!

Thank you g.lewarne for making my phone fly. Your kernel has grown in to something that's out of this world.
You have done so much work in your spare time, even when you where on holiday. I thank you for that and i hope you stay with us for a long time.
Without you my phone would be so doll.
Please members post here your appreciation.
The thread

you could have simply pressed the "thanks" button.

haha
I admit Gavin is an awesome Dev, But im sure a thanks or donation would suffice
To really show your appreciation, I suggest you get GAVIN tattooed across your chest!! Then upload some pics....... Who's with me ????

Haha mmm his signature would look great on my d!ck. No serious he is doing a great job. Just wanted to say thank you by this way.

Click his donate button to help support development. That is more effective.
