Guys and Gals ...

Due to various reasons (including increase in work commitments, and the fliers no longer being delivered) I'm going to have to stop these lists ... I appreciate the help I've been given in maintaining these lists.

Thanks

@shley

good idea. hard to implement - biggest downfall = only OP can edit the post outside mods...

gj.

my experience with samsung drives = they wont burn bin/cue files properly, just coasters. stay away from them would be my advice.

Very true... but albrandwood seems to have it pretty automated, well at least as much as it can be. Maybe it can more of an informational forum. So users can first check there and then go to hot deals if they don't find what they are looking for. So people who post in HD to ask "what are my choices for burners", can instead first check to see if an official thread exists...

I'm not claiming it's the lowest price, but Staples has the Sony DRU510A for $230- 30 rebate. add coupon and pricematch..

Can we ask the mods to have shared ownership on some of these ?? I personally don't think that having only the OP edit posts is not a downfall. Afterall, that is the way it is right now. The purpose of having a new section would be for simplicity in finding deals. It would also be a way for people to check before posting any new deals.

This IS a pretty exhaustive list IMO. I wouldn't mind seeing a link on the hot deals page to a page with links to the official threads of stuff. It's a really good idea that will save people time and headache, especially if they need something quickly and don't have time to go through every ad and hot deals page. Very innovative idea. I hope it gets put into motion. After the rating project, FW needs a new capital improvement plan to keep things interesting. (not that things aren't going to get interesting with BLACK FRIDAY approaching!)

Great job albrandwood. I love these condensed topics. If I'm looking for it specifically, it saves a ton of time, rather than sifting through all those previous posts (and reposts). Thanks for all the hard work.

The only thing is that the data is stored in CSV files (SQL coming soon) ... and the page is updated by a ColdFusion script automatically ... the only thing that isn't automated, is the updates to the CSV file ...

(the problem is gonna be at Xmas ... when I'm on vacation for 2 weeks ... )
