Welcome Kamikaze84,
If you thanked 5 or 6 people whose movies you actually downloaded there's nothing wrong with that. The folks who are proving to be such an irritation are those who simply open 10-12 threads and post a "thks" without even looking at the thread, many of the threads have no valid links or post limits above what they can see. That kind of insincerity {and there has been a great deal of it} is both annoying and causes the recently updated threads to sink down the board faster than a bullet fired down a well. The result of course is people who really want to download and enjoy the vids frustrated in their effort to find new entries and the posters frustrated by finding 2-3 pages of mindless thanks added to their thread.
The simple rule to live by when thanking a poster is "if you download it say thanks" and if you can add a bit more that's great. But don't simply go to a thread and think this looks good I'll say thanks when you don't actually download anything. Save your thanks for someone else. Despite what some folks may think {and I think I speak for most posters here} most posters post because we like sharing, and though we may seem like attention whores most of us will survive not getting praise for what we do {especially false praise}.
Cheers and happy downloading, the Stainless Steel Rat
