Brad Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 As we've hinted to recently, we're going to open the main Black Friday discussion forum a little early this year for several reasons: - to gather some poll results to use for media interviews & our early BF predictions :)- to allow the search engines to start indexing the forum in advance of the BF craziness - because some of you have nothing better to do and want to start talking BF now! We are now 20 weeks away from Black Friday (November 27th this year). The full suite of Black Friday forums (the retailer-specific forums, the Black Friday FAQs and the Holiday discussion forum) will return in a couple months, but for now, keep all Black Friday discussion in this forum. We aren't expecting much discussion right away, so don't be surprised if we go days without any posts in here. To those of you helpful BF forum mods from last year - you can take the summer off - we won't bother you for a few more months Thanks
Brad Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 I think we might just keep it open year round from now on, lol. BTW, we're not really going to advertise the fact that this forum is open, so it's kind of an exclusive preview for those of you who stick around all year. We'll send out the big "we're open!" mass e-mail to the BF mailing list in a couple months.
sweetdiggity Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Awesome! I'm glad I'm not the only one already thinking of Black Friday! 20 weeks seems sooo far away. lol Oh well. Gives me time to save extra money.
Brad Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 Some great things planned this year as well. We had the extremely popular t-shirts last year. This year among other things we'll be giving away special "BF survival kits" loaded with GD swag. It's going to be a fun year

erose630 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I've been MIA for a few months - but you know BF will always bring me back to good ol GD :)
berry1014 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I missed out on most of BF last year because I had to work. Threw everything off for me since that was the first time in over 10 years that I missed BF. Only got to go to 1 store last year. Not missing it this year.
abentley Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 20 weeks! What a way to look at it! Hmm, I may have to get serious about it now!!
Miss Star Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 And my mother thought I was crazy because I was already talking about BF! ha! I'm not the only one already thinking about it lol.
afrey66 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Being that it's Africa hot in Arizona, it's hard to think of winter....yet again, I'm VERY ready for cooler temperatures.
DramaQueenLucy Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Well where are those ads Brad??? hum....the Ace Hardware ad should be out anytime now....it comes earlier every year...lol
julz0420 Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Listen, as far as I am concerned BF forums could have opened back up the day after Christmas. (well ok they were still open then bwahahahaha) I had a gottadeal shirt and a plan last year... and then on Monday dh brought home the stomach bug. Oh yeah and I got sick on Thanksgiving so I spend BF on the couch trying to recover from a pretty nasty case of dehydration. THis year I am locking myself in a closet for the whole week of T'giving. LOL I am READY!!!!
