Just a thread to say thank you.

This forum is a great community, I just would like to say thanks to everyone here who puts in their time and effort helping each other, and for those who have helped me in the past too. :)
 
Well done TBid on the kind gesture, if the thread encourages others to consider giving items that they no longer need either then it's been worthwhile. I suppose to (maybe) avoid criticism it didn't need to mention anyone by name but then again probably the first question would have been "so who was it then?"...
 
Some people really need to get out a bit more. :p Nice gesture TBid and I'm sure the OP will enjoy it. If nothing else it's nice to see the positive side of the forums once in a while, it reminds me why I'm here... the community, not free stuffs. :D

Oh, and:

Well this is GD, I wouldn't expect any thread to go to plan in here.

Brian, if you don't like it, then stop coming into the thread bleating about it, just leave it alone.

Mat, if you don't like what I said, don't bother coming into the thread and bleating about it, just leave it alone.
 
Very kind thing to do, I have had the same done to me a long time ago and lost contact with the man that sent it :(

We could all take a leaf out of Tbids book.
 
Have some Lad points mate! you are part of the reason people use this community, there is trolling ect, but when someone needs help people are here to save teh day!

Nothing wrong with thank you threads on OCUK, it just shows what a kind community we have, and like Tbid has said it will only encourage other users to follow suit.

I'd like to raise the point that AVForums have a superb "thanks" system built in.

Worth a mention to the admins?
 
well done Tbid and wth is up with the naysayers.

i think it is perfectly reasonable to ask for a thank you thread.


i have been on this community a long time (pre nuke but took a break before re-signing up) and there is a reason why this is one of the nicest forums on the net.

pick any other forum where swearing is allowed, trades are unregulated, and mods let things slide and you see a free-for-all trash fest. some people on here seem to moan and winge and let their emotions run deep at the most trivial things.

I see that get abused though, prize draws for thanks left etc, give false representation of the recipient.

Recently made a thread in the sound city sub forum asking for advice on a sound card, a few posts in i was offered a very kind gesture, a brand new Asus Xonar DG for no more than postage, needles to say i was very garcious and accepted, all he has asked for is a quick note in GD saying thank you so


Thank you Tbid for your very kind act, i shall make very good use of it and pass on the generosity when i come to change it.

Yes the people in this forum can be very generous as I found out a few years back when this forum managed to bring me to tears.

The woman I was with at the time her daughter badly wanted a PC for Christmas but there was no way we could afford one for her.

The members of this forum pulled together and from all their spare bits piece by piece they put her together a really good system for the time. Even OcUK themselves donated the motherboard for it.

Things like this always make me smile now as it just reminds you the world has not totally gone to hell when people can still step up and help total strangers
