Updates, Top Deals, Comments, Forum Posts, Members of The Month + Other Stats [November 2018]

November was a ๐Ÿ† huge month ๐Ÿ† with the most deals ever posted, most reports ever made and highest overall site traffic. Black Friday brought in 3.17m pageviews up from 2.46m last year; a 28% increase. Moderators and power users were struggling to keep up with the frenetic pace of deals especially when Amazon released their Black Friday deals at 12AM exactly.

With the continued growth and support of the community, we've been able to donate $31,720 to charities this Christmas bringing our total up to $240,412 over the course of 12 years.

A reminder that the Christmas season can be stressful for people. Please see our mental health page or feel free to PM me.

If you're still looking for presents check out our Christmas Gift Guide. Next up Boxing Day!

  • +2

    Is this the first time Iโ€™ve made it onto a Top 10 Commenters list?

    Probably helped that I no longer work in retail, so can comment more freely about retail ๐Ÿ˜

    • Congratulations.

  • Iโ€™m shocked! Iโ€™m in quality bargain hunting company in that list.

  • OMG HighAndDry, put the coffee down and step away from the keyboard for 5 mins. :D

    • Quiet month for him
