Kind of strange...does that list dynamically update? I didn't sign onto this forum until a few minutes ago, yet my nick was listed at the top. Just curious.

No dynamic updating, I just did the whole list few minutes ago.

Me neither... the soap operas came to me instead.
Censorship, baseless bannings, character assasination, monitoring of PMs and threats of banning... these are the things that encouraged me to join the drama rather than just following a more serene course: checking out a new place, seeing if it works better for me, continuing to check in at the old place... moving on in peace.

I hope nobody here will boycott the dealmac.com deals page as a result of this 'drama'. I don't see it that way at all. The forum was just a side bonus to the deals, now that has just been 'relocated' to a new host, in my opinion.
Good to see so much support for this.

Actually about 38% of the list is made up of AOL users registering multiple times because AOL blocked the registration email as spam.

I say that we ought to just post the deals we find here instead of dealmac.com. AFAIK, the original dealmac depended upon mac users to find and locate good deals. Dealmac then leveraged the number of users/unique viewers to generate advertizing dollars. With these extra dollars, they employed people to search for good deals.
IIRC, dealmac.com/forums was a semi-offshoot of the publicizing of good deals.

wowzer - The only problem here is kind of what you touched upon. Will Larry mind that forum users might be posting deals by his competitors? mick e's guessing not though, since the forum name is "Tips and Deals".
