Glad you like it. We wanted to make sure we were going to have enough traffic on the forum to support 3 different boards, and it looks like enough people stayed after BF and are posting, so the change was made :) We also added the Deal Discussion board which should help get rid of some of the clutter and non-deal posts in the two deal boards.

Banned and thread closed :)

Contest-related posts should go in the Grocery Coupons, Contests & Freebies board for now. Others have suggested splitting up that board, but we have not done so yet and are still looking at all options.

No problems with the site - must have been your PC

a few new items have finally been added to the store

The Holiday (Black Friday) forum was closed like it was last year around this time and moved to a subforum of the Offline Deals board so you can still view the posts, just not post anymore. All future deal discussions (such as Valentines or Easter sales) should go in either the online or offline deal boards (obviously depending on if the sale is online or in B&M stores).

moving to deal finder forum since this is NOT a deal

In the end, this is a business, and the deals I post on the main site and posted to generate the most sales. After doing this for 2+ years, I have a very good idea of what kind of deals and from what stores will lead to the most sales, which goes into the decision of what deals to post. You may find an item cheaper somewhere else, and in that case like RossMAN said, you can reply to the thread for that deal letting people know about it. Just make sure it is a legit retailer and you factor in all the shipping/handling/tax costs. And the credit card and ING offers are totally legit. You'll find countless members on the forum here who have taken advantage of them in the past and can testify to their "hotness" :)

We'll have some new things in the store very soon, so don't worry about having to spend them today :)

This is the official photo print offer thread. Please post all offers for free or discounted photo prints in this thread. Thanks :)

Some very nice deals on these. A lot of sizes are selling out so if you are interested don't wait too long.

Basically you don't need to do anything. Either one of us will manually change the link, or the automated redirect we have will automatically convert the link to an affiliate link if possible. So just post a regular link and we'll take care of the rest :)

Have her send a PM to one of us (she should still be able to PM even though the account isn't activated yet)

Must have sold out again at Amazon.

The page only shows the last XX (can't remember the exact #) of transactions, so when you buy more stuff those will get replaced.

This is something we have been planning for some time now (for other reasons more related to privacy), and the recent drama in the Lounge made this as good of a time as any. So as of now, the GottaTalk Lounge forum is semi-private. To better protect the privacy of our members who may post about personal / family matters, the forum is also not available to lurkers. It's simple - if you can see the forum, you have access and if you don't see it, then you don't have access. There are currently several hundreds members with access, and that number will grow over time. GottaDeal.com is primarily a deal site, so having an off-topic forum is not a necessity, but we don't want to close it because many of our most active members have made it their home and we are very happy to have them here. However, if the drama in the Lounge continues, we won't hesitate to temporarily or permanently remove access to the Lounge for any and all participants in these incidents. This is your first and only warning. We are not babysitters - running this site is a business. This is a private board and we have the right to run it as we would like. We ask that you act like the adults you are. After all, this is just a message board :) If you don't have access to the Lounge and would like to request it, send a PM to RossMAN or myself letting us know. If you are new and have no posts, you probably won't be granted access right away. Once we get your request, we'll either give you access or consider it at a later date. You'll know when you have been granted access because the forum will be open. Please do not continue to request access - one time is enough. If you have any other questions, comments, etc... about this change, send a PM to RossMAN or myself and we can discuss your concerns in private. Thank you. Brad & RossMAN

I don't think it's spam - just a very oddly-worded invite to the chat room, lol.

Foot Locker sent this to us today: So use it at your own risk :)

Amazon has the 2GB for $194.99 with free shipping and no tax for most: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007Y7976

I decided to leave this one open so we can all make fun of him

You have been banned. Have a nice day, spammer
