EricTRA, done.
djsmiley2k, I explicitly stated that any future posts in this thread should pertain only to the Thanks system. There is a separate thread going for the reputation system, which I linked to (and that thread already contains the answer to your question)

Well, having waded through all these posts, I'm going to add my (somewhat unoriginal) opinions.
The Thanks listings enabled one to see who was likely to be worth listening to when they gave advice.
It gave one an idea of how effective ones own efforts at helping others were.
It is true that the system was crude, but it was simple and easy to use.
It might well be possible to devise something better, but why remove the old feature before you've done so? (You're not a Gnome developer by any chance, are you Jeremy?)

You do realize the replacement system is already being rolled out, correct?
to stop everyone moaning please replace the "Yes" text with the thumbs up Icon.
Much love

P.S. I know people are just putting their point of view across and I welcome that, its just amusing as now this system is basically the same as the other, but more visible without having to check a users stats - which is effectively what was asked for.
Based on feedback we've received from the community I've decided to disable the Thanks system at LQ. It had quite a bit of overlapping functionality with the "Is this post Helpful" system and I think that system adds more valuable metadata that can improve the overall LQ experience.
I think - it's better not to have this button. Thank you for this modification.
