I'm soon going to upgrade the site so I can add the new Christmas Gift for our posters this year. Does anybody think that Thanks/Groans are worthwhile and should be kept? If so, why... If not, why?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

it used to be fun, groaning the morons, getting groans from the morons. seeing the thanks on more serious posts I make. but I can live without it.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Can you bring back rep points? Keep everything as is but adding rep points would be fun.

i like the thank/groan system. it cracks me up. look at ugly young boys above whining about groans.
people need affirmation damocles, take away the groan/rep system and you will kill them. murder them.
a rep system will never take the place of the groan or a thanks. it can't it lacks imagination. foresight. hindsight.
i think that the thanks/groan system is abused as would the rep system
but then what else is new
so i say leave it alone..you should consider it a form of free speech like profanity, it helps keep the inmates busy
I pledge allegiance to the constitution of the United States of America as amended by the legislative and executive branches and interpreted by the Supreme Court
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America
Why not keep the thanks and dump the groans.
Thanks are nice when someone makes a good point; but it doesn't warrent typing out a response.
Groans are usually just used to poke at someone.

SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

Don't care either way
I like the system......I visit one board which does not use them......I run across threads or comments that I like and I have no way of expressing that to the poster without responding to it.....I use the "thanks" button here more than the "groan".....

I would prefer to have the site run as fast and smooth as possible.
dont need the thanks and groans.
I wouldnt mind the groans being gone becuase I never use it.
The thanks I could just tell the person I like their post
What would yurt do here without groans?

So far I get the feeling that most people would prefer to have thanks w/no groans. Am I getting the right impression?
