Slickdeals' new "sticky deals" suck big time

I check SD several times a day, recently the first one or two deals would just stay there all day instead of moving over for the new ones. Started fairly recently I think and the first few days I was thinking wow, no new deals for a long time. But then realized that they are sticky deals, they don't move, and sometimes they would carry for days, first I though my browser was cashing the page... Oh well, another great site goes down the drain due to commercialization... was fun while it lasted.

Atleast they can some how highlight them as sticky, and not confuse the users. Also, I notices that it does not happen on all computers. Between my work desktop, home LT, DT and Tablet, I have seen inconsistency, sometimes on some devices its back to normal, no sticky, but then I check on another device and they are back..

Slickdeals has been bad for a while now... I used to see good deals all the time, even if I didnt end up purchasing the product. Now its like.. I don't know... really weak deals that I don't see anyone caring about.

SD is still strong, will have to get used to the new format but the good deals will still find their way on there because of the community. SD has actually been down all day for me, was getting a Database Error earlier now it's just clocking.

I did get the database error yesterday and couple of times today, but has been working for me for the most part

you should always be looking through their forums. they usually only push the deals they can earn affiliate income to the front. exceptions are stuff that they can get organic traffic from because it's a popular subject (ie steam sales).

What M0oG0oGaiPan said, the best deals are found in the Forums. Once they hit FP they're likely to sell out.
