But yeah, I know what you mean about the lack of thanks. I occassionally post pics I've taken myself, and maybe get about 10 "thanks". It's always nice when some has something to say!
I think "the rub" is that may people are not inclined to say anything on the forums- which is a shame, as comments- good OR bad, are often useful.

And I do appreciate the comments. I would say both good comments and constructive ones are fine. As far as "bad" comments go, someone not saying anything or hitting that "thanks" button is enough. As the old saying goes "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". If everyone went around saying "man this thread sucks, just stop posting", a lot of people wouldn't bother posting. But I'm sure a lot of people like threads without saying anything, maybe I'm just asking for too much.

My personal posting has fallen off for some time now because my job has become so demanding. No other reason.

Well, I can't say the majority of people who have stopped posting is based solely on not getting any feedback or thank you's but I can say I've seen quite a lot of posters ask for replies or gratitude.
Now, these posts have happened more in the photo section than the video section but that's probably because more posts happen there than here. Once in a while you catch someone asking for some feedback or saying "so no thank you's on this post?" and then you don't see them for a while. Kind of just putting two and two together. I won't throw any names out there, but if you're here daily you'll see it once in a while.
As you said everyone has different reasons for posting, so getting feedback or gratitude could be two of them.
Sorry to Fango for turning this into a kind of "posting discussion thread", that wasn't really my intent, I was just ranting on the subject.
