Banana Bucks/Said Thanks/Etc Questions
 

I must've missed something.

What do the banana bucks do?

It says 'how many times said thanks' or something, which says zero - what doe that mean?

I guess I've never paid attention to that stuff below my name. Is there...a thread somewhere that explains it? I looked and saw nothing.

This message you are reading ... down at the bottom left there is a button labeled "Thanks". When you press it on someone's message, it is a quick way to say thank you, rather than posting a response with simply "thank you". In your user control panel options you can turn on or off the feature that has an email sent to you when someone says thanks.

Funny, I have no idea either.

Personally, if someone has gone to the trouble to post a photo, I like to give 'em a thanks. Growin' 'nanners is a visual kind of thing; without photos it would be nowhere near as interesting.

Also, if someone has directly answered a question I posed, it is good form to give 'em a 'thanky kindly' :08:

Banana Bucks were created in an effort to create a symbol of our society, where 1% of folks have all the Banana Bucks and try to get everyone to submit to their controlling empires. The "thanks" are mostly given by the other 99% and similar to voters in the USA who dole out their votes to whoever they think will tend to their special interests and give them everything they want. Richard has been especially good at figuring out how to conquer the 99% and sits at the very top. The Banana Bucks figures below our name on the left does not reflect the Banana Bucks we've put into the savings feature which earns a very nice rate of 2%/month.

Here's the top 5 holders of Banana Bucks (see http://www.bananas.org/vbplaza.php for more)
Richard - 923,042 Points
momoese - 683,738 Points
sunfish - 573,688 Points
MediaHound - 517,232 Points
harveyc - 305,327 Points

Please don't get the impression that I resent Richard's domination of our 1% kingdom. I still regularly post to his "Current Weather" thread, thereby earning him even more Banana Bucks.

If you enjoyed my story (even a little) or, for that matter, even think it's stupid, please give me a "thanks" by clicking below so I can earn more Banana Bucks.
