Rating threads? I played with the thing to see if it worked.

When he first started the site he was the one giving out ratings for the work people helped him with. Then we first people found out we could rate others. It died out when he put a Thanks button on here since we could thank someone for what they said with that link, it was as close to a like button as he could get. I think there was some small amount of jealousy involved as well that killed the ratings.
