I am still seeing some abuse of the system.

For example:

There is no reason to respond to a thread to simply say "thanks" unless you have some extra things to say as well.

The "thanks" button is in place to eliminate all of the "thank you" posts and make the forum easier to read.

I am also seeing many posts that simply don't contribute anything to the forum.

I urge everyone to make sure their posts contribute something to the forum before making them.

If this continues, I will have to think about removing the chips system.

I am proud of the system and I love giving the money away, but if it makes the forum harder to read or less informative then it is doing the exact opposite of what it's suppose to do.

Please do your part by making sure each of your posts contribute something to this forum!!!

Thanks,
NDN
