you know what's odd though? if "supposedly" coupon codes were illegal, how come the owners of the other sites aren't in jail? they haven't been sued, etc...hell, i'm surprised my mom isn't doing 30 years to life, she's been using coupons at shopright for years!

Coupon codes are not illegal. People were using our forums to discuss ways to get around the limitations imposed on them by the issuing companies.
THAT is fraud, and THAT is illegal. First, we asked our members to stop that behavior. When it did not stop, we banned posting coupon numbers, entirely.
We moderators are volunteers, members just like you who donate some of our time to try to keep AnandTech an enjoyable forum for everyone. With over 39,000 registered members, we have plenty to to without having to chase after a few unethical naughty children trying to stir up a feeding frenzy of greed. If that is what you want, please find it on another forum.
Thank you,
AnandTech Moderator
