Just as a quick heads-up to all of our members, and especially the ones who will be reading neither this post nor the thread it resides on: Malc has recently installed a new add-on to the forum. It's only been around for five years, so chances are that you may not have noticed its presence yet.
This new feature is comprised of a button — or link, if you will — at the bottom left of each post, with the somewhat enigmatic label "
Thanks". Unlike what you might suspect from its cryptic name — in our defense, we did not write this software ourselves! — this new feature allows members to show
gratitude and/or pay
respect to another member for posting something that could, in any shape or form, remotely be of interest to someone other than the person who posted it. Be advised however that the use of this feature does require at least a modicum of
sympathy, and that it could potentially also lead certain people to suspect that you might be afflicted with — God forbid! — a disturbing social phenomenon known among anthropologists as
a community spirit.
Although there have been rumors that the clicking of the "
Thanks" button would be sending an electric shock through your plastic computer mouse, the staff of
The One Truth believes these rumors to have been highly exaggerated by the more ardent members of competing forums. So far, none of our test subjects have reported any adverse effects from clicking said button, including test subjects who clicked the "
Thanks" button on posts made by someone from outside of their own groupie cult and/or narrow sphere of interest.
The integral staff of
The One Truth itself has also yet to experience any electric shocks when clicking the "
Thanks" button, but in all honesty, we will admit that we routinely only operate our computer mice while wearing electrically insulating rubber gloves, and as this feature has only been installed five years ago, we do acknowledge that further testing by volunteers with a certified life insurance might be required. Out of a concern for our members' wellbeing, we either way recommend only ever clicking the "
Thanks" button with a fully prepared emergency unit standing by in your immediate vicinity!
We apologize for having so rudely interrupted the raising of your vibrations and the integration of your soul. By all means, carry on!
The Staff of The One Truth wishes to apologize for the use of the difficult words in the aquamarine and bold typeface in the above message, but each of those difficult words has a hyperlink behind it, which, when clicked, takes the interested reader to a pertinent, concise and professionally compiled explanation of the scientific theories behind these concepts — courtesy of Wikipedia, the source of all corporately sponsored misinformation and mainstream propaganda.
