AT has been on a slippy slope for a long time and it ain't getting any better AFAICS. I can't remember the last good deal that originated here... and a lot of the good deals don't make it this far. If the management here gives a hoot about these forums I reckon they need to take action asap. Things I would do immediately:
- relax (not necessarily kill) the coupon posting rules. This single issue is the cause of most migration to other sites.
- remove most of those stickies from the top of the hot deals forums. Most of them are useless and take up valuable real estate. Remove the crappy ads there (newegg/kingston) these are NOT hot deals...so why are they there? I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM.
- remember who writes the content for this site - we, the members do. Don't jerk us around (like you did in the bad ol' days). A lot of people still have painful memories of being modded off these forums.
It would be a shame for AT to slip 'round the U-bend, but that's where it's going if someone doesn't take action.
