I think we've got our slogan for next year's t-shirts!

Who is going to post the traditional "Is it me or do the ads suck this year?" thread first?

Also, we're getting very close to selling out of the shirts in the "shop". Here is what is left as of right now: 1 small, 2 XLs, 4 2XLs and 2 4XLs. If you want them, go here: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Shirts We have a forum contest for 10 shirts going on now and we'll do one more for another 10 shirts after that, and then they'll be all gone. For the last contest, we may be out of certain sizes, so you'll get as close to your first choice as possible.

Update: all the shirts either won in contests (assuming you've replied to my message with your address) or ordered as of this morning are now packaged and ready to ship

This upcoming week will be the biggest week for ads. Most of the big ads (and most of the ads period) should be out by the end of the week. The following week with fewer BF ads left to leak will be all about the online deals as sites tend to really ramp up their deals that week. And then the week after that is BF week which will be crazy like always.

Heard from Dev (bigjimslade) today. No guarantees, but there's a good chance the webcasts will be starting up again very soon.

Menards is usually one of the last ads to leak, so you probably have another 7-10 days.

Time for our penultimate forum t-shirt contest! While everyone is here, let's get some ideas for next year's t-shirts! So to be entered to win, just reply to this thread with your ideas for next year's Black Friday t-shirts. This can be design ideas, slogans, colors, styles, etc... let us know what you want to see next year and I'll take these into consideration when coming up with next year's shirt over the summer. As always, if you've won a shirt this year you can't win another, but feel free to provide your ideas in the thread anyway. Contest ends at 9pm EST on Monday and I'll randomly pick 10 winners from all the replies on Tuesday and you'll all win t-shirts. Good luck!

Big Jim has been MIA. I haven't heard from him so I'm guessing life got in the way of the webcasts this year.
