It's got to be an April Fools joke.
If it were a real deal it would make no sense since it excludes some users from offers and that will cut into Mr. SD's take...and there's no way he wants that.
April Fools everyone.

It's a glitch, and of course these things happen when Mr. SD is away from his computer! :paperbag:
Only Mr. SD knows the reps it takes to get in, he hand picks everyone.
But hopefully as soon as one of us can reach Mr. SD, everything will be fixed.

If this is true, then :mad:
I know my opinion will not make a difference to any mod here and that's the problem with SD.
Only thing this will accomplish in the long run is losing traffic on the site. And that can only have a negative impact on advertising like callwave, etc.

Greed will win out, and all n00bs will work extra hard to reach the required rep level so that can get in on the extremely hot deals.

I will say that I have tried posting deals and only a few have been well received. And when I find a really good one to post someone beats me by a few minutes. It's very frustrating. So I leave it to the experts now :nod:

LoL, why does this sound like a post from 2 years ago about how we should not let people read the hot deals forum because they just joined or they don't have enough post... whatever... it's an AF joke, because it doesn't make sense to start something like this:
1) traffic lost
2) rep points will be abused

77Pat, it seems we are most useful in the help forum. :)
I posted a friggin deal in hot deals for a FAR HP AIO 6210 Printer, it got over 1200 views with not a single rep given or even a thumbs up. it's a bit frustrating to say the least.

every last one of your reps were earned the hard way.
If people repped much in the "Help" forum ...... YOU would definitely be the rep KING around here nancito. :nod:

I agree...the only reason i don't post is that someone ALWAYS beats me to it. I have a job and can not be checking and posting all day. I also don't post just for the heck of it...There are other websites....
One more thing...I haven't been here that long...But I have noticed that B4 the SD forum went top secret...A lot of the"deals" were swiped from other websites....Geeezz anyone can repost....
