[Galaxy S II Android Development] bajee11:
Didn't expect such a rebuttal but it was expected since I knew my sentence wasn't phrased properly since im on the go. So now that I managed to get some time @ my hotel with some crappy WiFi access I'll explain the following:

First of all, my post was only an encouragement post and nothing more. As a recognized contributor I'm devoted to helping various projects and communities on XDA and specially assist in the growth of some ROMs. I was previously using HyDrOG3NICS, and not to be rude to any RR users, but that community was almost like family to me. The communication, unity, bonding, helpfulness, gratefulness.. all these were part of the daily communications in that thread. I devoted almost all my time on XDA for that thread and my Kernel Testings thread. The reasons behind why that ROM discontinued and the thread being closed are not in any way related to any of the users attitude or bonding. So Sun90, I find both RR and HyDrOG3NICS thread to be one of the best ones that helps the community. I even wrote a statement before flashing this rom that this thread had one of the best support I've ever seen, so you could imagine how this was an important aspect of my choice of ROM.

About the thanks meter now: The thanks button was design to an ease of thanking someone who was helpful towards a query made in the thread. Instead of quoting that person and thanking them, some users show it in the form of pressing the thanks button and some do both. Ever since I started following this thread, I've seen a noticeable amount of posts by several users congratulating for reaching a certain level meter of thanks. This is new to me, because I've never seen anyone congratulating for such thing in any threads. So I made a personal assumption that the thanks meter actually matters here, which I think is true and personally it should matter afterall. Some people do judge others with their number of Thanks and I've seen extreme cases where some users bashed down another user for his opinion, only because he had a low TM.(I'm not saying this is the case here) As it is important to let someone know their thankful for the help they've been given, it is also your duty guys to pass on that knowledge and get implicated in this thread. My initial post about thanks all started because, I see a few selected users helping out the community here and they should deserve a lot more thanks then they do. GaboWinter, myliferocks, vreestyle, coolstoryboy, vegeta1, 078gregory, DeltaSync, pigmachine (I'm sure there's more so don't feel offended if I didn't include your name, I'm still getting to know everyone here).. All these users have an exception sets of talents and patience. So far, I've noticed you guys get implicated beyond any other users I've seen. So all this to say, yes the TM does matter but I'm not saying it's the only thing that matters at the end of the day. I said I will be giving out my thanks to the most helpful users because I rarely give out thanks due to the fact that I rarely ask questions. So since my 8 thanks doesn't get used up, it would be nice I used them for a good reason right?

So hopefully everything is cleared out now and you guys continue your remarkable support for every users in here. Have a good day everyone.
