Hot Deals Forum

Hi all,

Just throwing an idea out to everybody: How about instead of having a Weekly Deals thread we just have a forum where people can post hot deals on computer hardware/software (both internet and brick and mortar stores)? I know other forums (similar in size to this one) have a forum dedicated to this sort of thing. Thoughts/Opinions? Objections? TIA

What would be the difference between one thread that everyone can post in and a whole forum?

Having a seperate forum for people to post individual threads is a better idea, as you won't have to wade through pages of other deal post. Lets do it CAG style!

I'm sticking this in the suggestion box so the rest of the staff can see it.

Also to add, the currently weekly deals only gets a few posts a week. I can't see much of a need to have a complete forum for this.

We haven't decided yet whether to bring it back. It went away with the Trading Post now that we have the separate Marketplace.
