    There's a thread about this feature being reinstated at least 2 times a week. I definitely think it should be brought back, if it doesn't cause any sort of nightmare for the admins.

        You'll notice I hit the thanks button. I would have much rather bought you a beer.

    I assume it was removed for a very valid reason.

    I doubt a poll will bring it back.

    Why was this feature removed? Does anyone have any history?

    JoMo,

    Don't know for sure if that was the case. But I think something to that effect was mentioned in the thread I linked to above.

      If this is the case then they probably thought that the thanks button gave the forum a more professional/business feel.

        Jaggy,
        Great idea with the Poll, I would love to have that feature,
        when someone posts a stellar post, or like Mike Hill put
        up a timely post the other day, that saved me 2 hrs. Easily
        worth the Beer Feature.

        BUY ME A BEER---BRING IT BACK PLEASESSSSSSS

        Regards,

    I live in Colombia. Would I still be able to get a beer bought for me if they brought the feature back?

    I miss the feature as well for the same reason as George; I used to select a mod at random each month and send them a beer to say thanks. (btw George, are you a mod/admin now? Cool).

    I think someone try to implement a similar feature outside this forum but it never caught on. Also I'm not sure - but maybe the new forum software here doesn't support the feature ?

    cheers,

      I can speak to both of these statements...

      1) While the forum software is capable of doing this, Allen specifically mentioned he didn't want to bog down the forum by adding more plugins, and he was happy to have members do it instead. Hence the reason I recreated the feature on WarriorPlus (see #2).

      2) The "Buy Me a Beer" feature was recreated as a part of WarriorPlus. You can easily set it up by creating an account on WarriorPlus and adding your Paypal address.

      The link to use for the feature is as follows:

      http://www.warriorplus.com/buybeer/MikeLantz
      -or-
      http://www.warriorplus.com/buydrink/MikeLantz

      With custom link text, it looks like this: Buy Me a Beer

      Of course, just replace my username with yours. (Use a plus sign for spaces.) Add the link to your signature and you are good to go.

      Hope that helps.

      Mike
