The original poster, TauNeutrino, is neffing, spamming, or something. He's kinda odd.

Is this thread actually needed in Hot Deals Forum?

 

[HansHurt]

I second that...this guy is cannon fodder.

junthin First of all he did post a Hot Deal. Like ALL hot deals some r some r not 4 all. But I believe you missed his point. READ all his posts in the thread. Make sure you also hit his coupon website link.

He is correct and making a very STRONG statement !

 

[junthin]

Just seems like he came up with a creative way to nef. Anyways..what's the point that he/she's making? I'm sorry...I guess I'm too dumb, can you point it out, thanks.

It does seem a little odd if you read through all of the posts.

I vote they keep the thread open just for the sheer hilarity of it

Sounds like he was offended by someone who spammed their own site on the forums, so he decided to mock them by making a similar thread but replaced the link to the spammers site with one about show pigs, then continually bumping his thread (like the spammer does?) with odd little recommendations and endorsements for the linked site (which makes fun of the spammer's site).

The problem with sarcasm is that it usually loses something in translation. Did I get the explanation mostly right? I don't spend much time in Hot Deals anymore, so I'm only guessing.

*Edit - Ah, now I see who he was mocking (more than one person). It is pretty humorous now.
