Forum Fading?

[bjadams44]

I'm not trying to be critical here but I notice that this forum seems to have gotten much less active recently with fewer deals and fewer discussions. The deals I do see are often repeats of something from Fat Wallet or Broadband. I always liked this forum and it's sad to see it fading away.

Personally I don't think the split from the TechIMO forums was a good thing. There is no traffic now, only a few deadicated sellers and a couple people looking to buy.

i agree...i have noticed that to...kinda sucks...when it was linked with TechIMO, it seemed alot easier to sell and there was alot more selling going on...kinda weird how it faded....

but this should have been put under a different topic then "online deals and coupons"

Agreed 100% but not just that over here I see alot of people that just pop in from the RR ratings section and have tech questions that aren't being answered. When it was a combo thing those ppl wouldn't have had as much trouble getting help.

I think the reason the poster posted this here was due to the main concern of the amount of deals being posted. The reason few deals are posted in the forums is because there are two entire sections dedicated to it one on the RR home page and then the Hot Deals page

Yes, that to.....it is like this is a seperate forum then TechIMO, when it used to be all at TechIMO....hopefully, sometime they can merge it together again...I really liked it that way compared to how it is now...sry to say that...

technically they are two seperate forums now and I highly doubt they will ever merge again however we might be able to get them to add the fs/ft forum back to techIMO. I think the reason they haven't is to try to drive somemore tech related traffic/help to the forums here.

Like I said before the reason there isn't alot of traffic in this particular forum is due to the two seperate pages that list "deals" and the fact that they are on-top of most every deal out there.

I THINK that the seperation of deals
into

Online Deals and Coupons

Deal Requests

General Discussion and Buyer Guidance

Traders Forum: Buy, Sell, Trade

caused less posts. I used to read the one post at the other site, but now i have to read 4.

i don't come here as often since that happened.


thanks
