Honestly, I haven't noticed any change in the level of commenting here. This has always been a "quiet" forum.
The upside to the thanks button is that, if everyone that liked a post posted a reply that just said "Thanks", we'd have dozens and dozens of posts that just say "Thanks" cluttering up the forums. And then people would get pissed when they see a thread has new posts and they open it to just find ten new "Thanks" posts. The button also gives lurkers and/or those who just don't have much to say an opportunity to be thankful for posts they like.
Sure, the button may be somewhat impersonal, but it has a lot of benefits as well.
