There is something wrong if they always expect a thank you. It's like that is the reason when in fact doing something good is really it's own reward.

does that mean i have to give the money back ?

"Most"? Not the one's I frequent...

It took me a while to realize it was a "Like" button since the response to clicking on it (a thank) is also odd...

Typically on any thread I would actually know half and more of the posters and that made it fun. A lot of those “old timers” are either gone or decided to pursue other interests.

Crispers was a great place to meet TOTV friends. I started in 2008 when my husband was still working in Ohio. I still have friends from those days. And yes the platform was friendlier and likely our face-to-face meetings helped.

A "LIKE" button would be more appropriate...

I was surprised to find those who have made literally thousands of posts and been "thanked" thousands of times, but have never (0) thanked anyone ever for a their comment, helpful tip, or post. Could that really be accurate ? Just seemed a bit hard to believe that people on here that many times have never found anything helpful or worth a "thanks" ?? Have no idea, just struck me as very curious was all ! I thought....LOL... are these actually "bots", LOL, so they don't "thank" others, like human beings...LOL ! ? In all seriousness, just seemed strange and never noticed in all the years since they first started this over at Crisper's on Fridays ! BTW, I miss Crisper's...but apparently I'm in the minority for sure...LOL !

Maybe I should start a new post, but isn't the LOL acronym grossly overused by many?

We wanted to provide some more content on this post.

1) There are no bots that we run on the website. Since a user would have to be registered and logged into their account to have the 'like' or 'thumbs up' button, we are confident that numbers are actual numbers.

2) The '+' will show you on your specific post who 'liked' or 'thanked' you for the information.

3) The Crispers lunch was very popular. It was most recently being organized by users on the website and not TOTV. TOTV would support and announce the luncheon for the users who were organizing it. There were occasions where TOTV would pay for the entire luncheon. If any users would like to organize this in the future you can reach out to us for support.

Thanks for all your support!

Got it. Thank you!!!

In case you come back to this thread the "quick reply" has less options to add to your reply hence "quick". If you want to add font sizes, colours etc... you'll want to hit the "reply" icon.

Also just realized when you do "quick reply" it doesn't add any other posts to your comment. Only "reply" seems to add the post you want to reply to.

Although acceptable,the word fora to me sounds a bit gooney as a plural. I like the plural; FORUMS.

If we all liked the same thing, they would only sell vanilla. And Reeces.

Although acceptable, the word FORUMS sounds loud and pedestrian. I like the etymologically correct plural; fora.

If we all liked the same thing, they would only sell chocolate. And M&Ms.

Fora or Forums. Call them whatever you want. Hasn’t this nit been picked already?
