no, that wouldn't help too much. most of the avatars get cached on your PC anyway so the load difference would be minimal.

Depends, will you guys let me have the rest of the week off?

Just got this from Apple: The biggest shopping day of the year is at your door! We are excited to announce that the Apple Store is featuring a very special one-day promotion for Black Friday, November 25th! On Friday, November 25th, the links for the Gift Guide will dynamically update with a special shopping event. This promotion is sure to be very popular with your customers - but we can't disclose it yet...that would ruin the surprise! Link Hmmm...

Pay attention to this page: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/online.html It will be updated throughout the week with items available online from many stores including Walmart.

Some very nice deals in there. Plasma HD-Ready TV for $1498 is pretty nice.

Just OD so far this year :)

Same here. They must be punishing the entire state of WI for me leaking out the ad early

If you have one nearby, Linens N Things has the iHome for $69 on Black Friday. Might be available online as well.

Here are the DVDs & CDs: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Sales/Category/media

nope, really none of the BF deals are that great. if you are looking for a camcorder, you are better of waiting until the next round of stackable $-off and %-off coupons from dell comes out. stick with us here on GD after BF and you won't miss a thing :)

Ads have now been removed from the forum. The $ made with them was not worth annoying everyone, so we're just going to keep them on the BF site for now :)

but what about the ad tha comes in thursday's paper? will it have these lower prices or the original ones? and what if people don't know about these lower prices? doesn't matter to me their initial ad that we had first got us all those news stories such as CNN, so it worked out just fine for GD :)

The "free" PC and $150 laptop both require a new AOL signup to get a $250 rebate. If you don't sign up for AOL, then add $250 to get the "real" price

Here is the flyer: http://www.blackfridaysaleads.com/images/scans/walmart_flyer.jpg http://www.blackfridaysaleads.com/images/scans/walmart_flyer2.jpg

Exactly. On the majority of the ads there are just way too many to type up, or we can't read the details enough for some things. If there are items that we didn't include in the lists that you'd like posted so you can add them to your shopping lists, post them here (Item Name - $Price) and I'll add them as soon as I can.

The ads are still shown for everyone on the BF site. Just view any of the store or category lists.

I just downloaded it now and extracted the files with no problem. Must be something with your PC.

Yeah like I said in the first post, if you have 100 posts you shouldn't see them. It's mainly for all the lurkers who register to view the BF forum and never post. Most of you who have been here a while already have 100 posts, and if you don't, well then either get posting or put up with them for 6 more days :)

We thought of doing special BF shirts this year, but first of all we didn't expect this much traffic and so we didn't know if there would be enough demand, and second we figured in most areas of the country people are going to be wearing coats and so you wouldn't see them anyway. We'll probably have some next year (and will have a poll for the design sometime in August/September, so stick around!)

For those who noticed, yes those are Yahoo ads on the BF site and here in the BF forum. They are shown: - on the BF site on the ad listing pages only (store or category) - on the BF forum (no other boards) after the first post of a thread, only to members with under 100 posts We're going to try them over the weekend to see how things go. Any $ we make will likely go towards hosting the BF site next year, cause it's going to be A LOT of $ to host this next year with all the press this year. We're not supposed to encourage anyone to click on the ads to support the site, so I wont do that All the ads will be gone after BF, so for those of you who are sticking around, you won't have to worry about them in a week, and if you have 100 posts, you won't see them here on the forum anyway :)

I'll see what I can do over the weekend. I should get some free time. If anyone wants to help out and make an updated list, feel free to do so and PM it to me and I'll update the threads. I'll give you some GottaPoints for your efforts as well :)
