Hell now what's really annoying is when someone runs out of thanks, which I've been guilty of too, is quoting the post and simple saying "Out of thanks!" to acknowledge a good post. The thanks button eliminates half a page of useless posts.

That's a good point and a lot of how I use 'thanks'.
However, I think it's more participatory to maybe try to come up with something that is more than "yes I agree", to grow the discussion rather than stating your allegiance.
