Just want to introduce myself, im fed up with the petty bull**** over on the eris forums and thanks to some HUGE help from tkirton, im coming here where i hear the members are much more helpful and open to new devs. just want to say that anything i can do to help, let me know.
i have a little experience, i was the first one to get a2sd working with the eris roms and me and tkirton have worked quite a lot on working it into other roms.
ahhh welcome to the real hero side but this should be here

we just take ur ROMs and perfect them
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

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.

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.

Hey guys, I'm gonna go a little softy here...you know...since I'm usually ruff, tuff and meaner than a rattle snake, lol
But really, I've noticed a major change in our coummunity lately and for the better. People seem to finally be coming together and helping each other out and not flaming each other back and forth. People are actually working with each other and answering questions instead of yelling 'newbie go find search button'.
I know we've had some issues between us and the mods of late but I think everything is working out for the best. I'm sure things will get better once the changes with xda get buffered and tuned.
You know what guys? This is what its all about right here. A good device, good people and good friends. I think I can finally once again kick back and say I am proud to be an Incredible! And I am most definitely proud to be part of this community!
Thanks guys and lets keep this greatness going people.

I can support this. I actually don't have a problem with XDA or the mod/admins. I just didn't like some of the methods and words used to enforce.

Hmmm... I don't see in the above code where you unmounted Mean Mode and mounted Thanks mode... So you may still have been accidentally stuck in Mean Mode while thanking the community?! How could this be??!!
Day = long, sorry for this...
I agree. It seems like there are huge "flare ups" around here every so often, and they come and go. Things seemed to have mellowed out for now, and people seem to being nice and helping out, like you said.
It's way better that way, for sure.
You're absolutely right WildStang. I've seen a lot more cooperation and a lot less kicking and screaming like 4 year olds. Thanks to all the hard working devs for their roms, kernels, etc. Thank you to all you forum goers who take the time to help out everyone else out here!

Sometime a little fighting needs to happen to bring everyone back home. Also nice to see that Joel and Nils received their well deserved Dev titles.

Hear, hear for the community spirit in the forum.
I for one love the fact that most of the questions or concerns in my threads are answered by other members before I even get a chance. That is the sign of a healthy community, members helping members.
Oh yeah, they are also giving better answers than me.
Congratulations, Would have been terrible to see you go. I love your Business Gingersense Rom Ver 3. Well done, thanks to everyone who supported you.

Hell yeah, sometimes the best of friends just have to beat each other up first. Like in Step Brothers.
"Did we just become best friends!?"
"YUP!"
"Wanna get on Gtalk and build a ROM!?!"

Community
The hallmarks of an effective community are involvement, creativity, tolerance, passion, confluence and respect.
XDA Developers has a history of innovation, and a reputation for looking imaginatively at different ways of doing things, influencing the environment in which they operate and learning from, and sharing with, others.
Recognition is deserved for those who volunteer real time and effort to advance not only the products that we so love, but the knowledge, understanding and experience of the end user as well.
It is an honor to acknowledge my appreciation for this fellowship.
Much love my friends.

I agree. I totally agree. I agree to a degree that I can't express in words. If I ever meet any of the individuals who post here in real life, I'll give them a hug, and possibly any cash I have in my wallet at the time.
I have repaired/modded/rooted/tweaked/improved more devices than I can count thanks to the hard work everyone has contributed FOR FREE to this wonderful, wonderful site.
So with these thoughts in mind I hereby formally, religiously, happily, totally agree.
"This place is badass"
thanks
This place is amazing. All the work everyone does really does deserve a huge thank you.

Yes Thank You to all the Devs. For they're hard work. Without it this forum would be nothing. Also thank you to all those who help out, and contribute.
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.

you could have simply pressed the "thanks" button.

I admit Gavin is an awesome Dev, But im sure a thanks or donation would suffice
