Still waiting for the day y'all realize this is a page strictly for amazon deals and nothing more (what, people don't read OP's anymore?)...not everyone unsubscribed and I'm quite sure they're waiting on you guys to chill out with the excessive irrelevant posts :-S

Thanks captain internet. Everything is relevant on TB.

Wow...didn't see that coming...maybe I'll use that for a new username somewhere else...but since you wanna be a smart^^^ about it, I'll play:

Instead of going against the planned purpose of this thread, you could just create a <gasp> new thread (a secondary thread if you will) to discuss the deals (and any other 'relevant info'**) posted on this thread? Sounds like an approach that'll please all parties, but hey, what do I know, I'm just Captain (elect) Internet...carry on.

Geez, can't take a joke? The banter about the deals is half the fun as we can see the expectations or stories of people that already have the same gear. At least it is all contained in one thread unlike the Hello Music deals....
 
LETS END THIS EARLY!!

It would be nice in a perfect world to just post deals but it aint gonna happen & we are all too busy to be the police.
The idea is awesome, but its not practical. That being said it would be nice to cut on the banter BUT oh well. I don't recommend people subscribe, Amazon deals have been far & few in between, I'm posting deals in advance for people to follow the price reductions. RARELY does Amazon just cut a discount for a day all of sudden, its usually a gradual price reduction.

So, both of you are right really. Lets just enjoy ourselves & if a deal is smoking you WILL know about it in advance

Yea I can take a joke, I can take 5 'jokes' even...but when when you have this thread set to instant notifications and you getting 40 'jokes' a week and MAYBE 1 or 2 (on a good week) is an actual deal posting...it defeats the purpose of having this thread (which, if i'm not mistaken, was to instantly alert TB on deals so they could pounce on them before they got sold out). All i'm saying is this:

  • Set this thread to instant notification...post only deals.
  • Create and subscribe to a new 'discussion' thread on ALL Amazon deals posted in the first thread (to allow easy access) and set to whatever notification you deem necessary. Everybody gets to banter on the deals as usual (which I really have no problem with...but you know, time and place for everything)

If my idea is way off-base let me know; it's really just 2 extra mouse clicks to move from thread 1 to thread 2...

Point taken. If only this smiley had a truce flag with it: :hiding:
