I still think it's way too early to open up the BF forum, but I checked and at this point last year the forum was up and already had over 1,000 posts, so I guess there isn't much more point in waiting, lol. This will be the only BF forum for a few weeks and then when we get a little closer we'll open up the various store and other sub-forums. Enjoy and go crazy

100 days and counting! Woo hoo! So when do we get a BF countdown timer?

[Brad]

Also, we're still working on the actual BF site (http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com) and will be for the next few weeks, so don't be surprised if things look strange. Last year's ads are still on there as well.

We'll have some new goodies on there as well such as a new comments system for the news posts, the ability to share our BF news updates with your friends on Twitter and Facebook and much more.

I'll see about getting one on the BF site one of these days.

Do people really need a new laptop or HDTV that badly? They must not have a job. Or a life.

I was wondering when this thread would open up.

[stationchief]

I looked all thru last year's site, but I couldn't seem to find the BF 2009 Comparison Charts. Oh, wait ... that's right ...

So excited!! I've got my act together compared to previous years and have been saving money for awhile now, instead of starting in October. lol Can't wait to start seeing some ads!

[wnc_mom]

Ahhhh...i feel like someone just gave me my drug of choice lol I ♥ BF!

[firegirl719]

Yipeee! This is so exciting! It's almost as exciting as getting the first leaked ad! woo hoo! Bring it on BF!

[brinak2005]

Yipppeeee, I feel like the race has officially begun now.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I was so happy to see the Black Friday 2010!!!

[ChristmasShopping]

Thanks Brad! I have been thinking about Black Friday for weeks.. I am behind on shopping and hope that Black Friday holds some great items that will help me get my list done!

[Ravenseye]

[nicole20]

I have been on here daily for the past month waiting for this board to pop up...so needless to say you just made my day! thanks so much cant wait for the ads!

[SuggaD]

Black Friday 2009 seemed like yesterday!

If they did that here in Phoenix right now they'd be certifiable.

Thanks Brad! I have already taught 20 Christmas workshops since June and I refer them all to sign up for the ad notifications. I've had a lot of concerned emails that there isn't a place to sign up. I keep sending them!

[pogiporkchop]

I think the above pretty well sums up how I'm feeling right now!

[mgmckny]

Thanks Brad! I was starting to think you were being devious and making us wait til Labor Day!

[stationchief]

Exactly 98 days, 11 hours, and 50 minutes until the first BF doors open! (5am on BF)

[popsgirl]

I can't wait! One of my favorite days of the year!! Not sure how many more I have in me though. Been at it for 15 years and as the years pass it gets harder and harder to get up so early!!

[babygirl913]

Glad to see this forum open

The signup form for the alerts on the BF site has been open all year - that never closes. Just make sure you are sending them there instead of the forum or the main GD site, otherwise they might get lost, lol

[momof3luvs1]

so excited to see this forum up!!! Woohoo for bf!!!

[amyers12345]

I didn't know that- thanks! Yeah, people aren't real internet savvy sometimes. Some of the basic technical issues that I answer on a regular basis are unreal. Something else I've run into a lot lately is that people will register with their full address but won't surrender an email address to save their lives.
