Ok the last two times i've gone in there i've seen really ingrateful assholes in there. Last time a very good trader from the forsale/trade forum was attacked by like 12 people because he was trying to make a profit off some geforce2s, like $15 a piece or something. I tried to defend him since well it takes time to ship all the crap out, the mods remove that thread. Yesterday i saw what i thought was a nice deal on a canon elph digital s100. posted it at this thread

I notice today its locked, and some jackass named LORDGOD has the nerve to post in my thread and say
"Hey HANSOO-7, arent you the same guy that wrote that little piece last week about all us Anandtechers being a pile of sh** ? Please be an honorable fellow and re-post those original comments for all to see; or apologise ? hmm ? "

Which i never did, and other people are calling me a fool for putting up a bad staples pricematch or something. I mean i just wanted to contribute to their stupid forum, and i get flamed. I did a officedepot price match once, and well the lengths some of these people go to to get a deal are sick, they will call like 10 customer service reps and call manageres, and use internet coupons codes at real stores which doesnt make sense i mean its for the internet, hence the name "internet coupon". I mean i think if you use a staples coupon at their internet store and pricematch with the internet price match form then its ok, but they cross the line into abuse when they call all the CSRs and write letters to the district office. Some of these people are low down dirty whores who would sell their children for a buy.com coupon code. Plus their ingrateful bastards who expect people to give them these deals all the time like its a service they pay for or something.

Anyways i felt i had to rant about that

Dont worry about it, they are probably all democrats.

Anyone doing business is entitled to a little but not obscene profit.

well i agree with more democratic views than republicans do (i'm against all the not letting people have a choice stuff, I.E. republican abortion and moral/church views). I was mostly annoyed at the whole ingratitude thing, which most people will agree is just from being raised right

The hot deals forum is the worst board in this community. Its the only forum I never bother to check. I cannot believe some of the things I see there.

buy 24 rolls of 2 ply toilet paper get 1 roll free
free dog biscuit
free tampons
etc...

Sure there are people there that do post some good things, but there is so much worthless sh!t in that forum its mind numbing.

"Hot Deals" does not represent the rest of the AnandTech forums. Most of them there are leeches who's ambition in life is to cheat companies. They are a bunch of whiners and I've had my fair share of run ins with them. I mean what kind of a person are you when you orgasm over a free T-shirt or pen. Hans, all that counts is we know you are a member in good standing. Next time you launch an offensive in Snot Deals, drop me a PM and I'll be there beside you.

we should have an all out attack on the hot deals forum. The more people the better.

Remember, the last time we had someone go ape sh!t in the hot deals forum, we lost a good member. I cant remember who it was, so they might be back.

The member that went apesh!t was me. I still get a little angry with myself when I think about JBAR getting hit in the cross fire.

The Hot Deals Forum is not for the squeamish or timid. Those frigin people are like cannibal jackals, if they spent 5 seconds reading your thread and it wasn't a HOT HOT HOT deal...You're DEADMEAT!

And even when you post something worthy of the thirsty horde, they still feel compelled to tell you how "it's not a bad deal but I got a better item last week when I called the Saleperson and used pricematching and a coupon and voodoo magic and faerie dust and monkey juice and rebates and only paid $.01 for a $5,000 unit."

The thing I still don't understand is why Anand has a filter for Techb@rgains.com?
