Expired Deals

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.

Can the deal rating from hot deals carry over to this new catagory?

wfay said: Personally I think "deal dead" is equivalent to "deal expired". 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 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.

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

Here you go 1,500 threads of clutter.

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).

This seems like a good idea. This would make more sense than putting threads in deal discussion or waiting until they are archived.

It would be helpful if a sticky was added to the Hot Deals forum pointing people to this forum.

It would only need to stay a sticky for about a month.

Otherwise, I like this idea.

LOL...so you're essentially asking how long until expired deals become expired? I would imagine once no one cares about them anymore, they'll just sink to the bottom.

Not good at all.
Many only look in the Hot Deals section.

Sometimes, the only means of support for the specific deal on an item is from other members who participated. If item is moved, chances are great that if anyone needs to know something about the deal gone bad, no one will see it after it is moved. Those that need help, and those that could help will be kept apart. A bump to a thread brings it to the attention of those that need to see it, but not if it has been moved to a place no one sees it. Might as well delete the thread 5 minutes after it has expired.

Maybe moved 30 days after expired, or at least long enough for those that order an item the time to receive it.

Don't know about how others feel, but IMHO the forums are no where close to being filled with clutter.
This move is not needed.

EDIT: As expected, the post I made 3 days ago in the expired deal section has gone unnoticed by those that might have been able to help. Thread was moved before anyone even received the item. Why the mad rush to move a thread? Because you have to power to? This is a true example of how it does not work.
