In addition to reducing the clutter in Hot Deals, we hope this change will raise the value of Deal Discussion while increasing ease of use in both forums.
Right now topics will continue to be moved manually as moderators are alerted to them, but we are working on methods to automate this process. As always, suggestions are welcome
How about moving it between Hot Deals and Online Auctions in the drop down menu? I'm so used to hitting the top one for Hot Deals I found myself staring at old deals for a minute.
Nevermind. It's only like that because it's the one I'm currently in.

No need for a new button/marking system.Except that far too many posters mark deals dead when they don't like them or when they want to minimize the number of people who see them. That kind of abuse will increase tenfold if marking a deal dead automagically sends it off to another forum.

I agree and deals sometimes come back from the dead so there has to be away to perhaps bring them back. Its not a bad idea but it might be kind of hard to automate because people vote deals dead that they dont' like don't know how to get in on or aren't even in the right city for the deal.
I don't think I like this. Now we're going to have stuff like this and this. Discussions are split between threads now, like with "regular" reposts. It's annoying.

i'm sure my opinion means squat but i don't like how expired deals from EVERY category get to die here. i mean some are still dead in HD, DD, FS... what abuout getting those cleaned up? it's kinda annoying when you have to hunt down a thread. & subbing to a thread is more annoying when you get inane posts.

Please consider adding the "Expired Deals" link under the "forums" tab at the top of the web page next to the other forum links (Hot Deals | Free Stuff | Finance | Deal Discussion | Forums Search | Topic Alerts | Private Messages).
RightHere said:rhythmwaters said:Can the deal rating from hot deals carry over to this new catagory?What's the purpose of ratings in this forum? The DD forum doesn't have ratings. Just curious as to why you think ratings will be valuable here.Very good point. I think that since these will all be expired deals, there probably won't really need to be a reason to promote an offer.
