We keep banging on about growing in these stats posts and because of this, it gives OzBargain a chance to employ some great members. If you haven't already, please welcome scrimshaw. It's quite neat to think that not only has OzBargain contributed to people finding loads of bargains and winning comps but also assisted in finding jobs for some of the companies that post on here (e.g. TA for Cashrewards, Clear for Geekbuying and more that I can't think of).
On a related note, you still have a few days left to vote for your favourite charity and to submit a design for our new round of t-shirts.
Site Updates of Interest (Not a full list)
- Referral Changes
- Added ability for mods to add stores to referral system.
- New kind of referral, PM for stores that don't just give a link/code.
- Due to above, banning of all referral links in deal description + removing all referral wikis (almost there)
- Set deals to be "coupon master" which adds a link to related deals that share the same coupon code. Useful for eBay sales. Example
