What a hectic 2 months of activity. We had our biggest ever day on OzBargain for Black Friday with 3.9 million pageviews up from 3.1 million pageviews in November 2018. Meanwhile, Boxing Day racked up only 2.65 million up from 2.47 million pageviews from the previous year.
Our 13th birthday was in November and coincidentally managed to have 13 meetups around the country. Christmas donations were $32,670 spilt between 6 charities bringing our total donations to $297,000. If you are in a position to donate money, then certaintly do so not only for those affected by the bushfires but also to other charities unrelated to the fires.
Questions, comments, please check out the Comments / Feedback / Suggestions Thread 2020. We may be getting a mobile app so I'll have to retract my answer here.
Both November and December Stats are included here. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling…

November 2019
Our busiest month so far. Here are the winners from last month:
As the top 2 most voted deals in November were posted by store reps from Cashrewards and ShopBack, the prize for the user who posted the most popular deal goes to Raceking23, who posted the 1 Hour 20% Cashback Amazon AU Flash Sale at ShopBack, which got +719 votes and 5,000+ click throughs. In fact 7 out of the top 10 deals posted in November were from the cashback sites.
SpamMeNotInOz for posting the most clicked deal in November, JB Hi-Fi Black Friday Catalogue with +266 votes, 36,000+ clicks and 200+ comments. It's also SpamMeNotInOz's very first deal, after the account was created 4 years ago.
headphonejack for posting the most voted & most entered competition in November, Win Return Business Class Flights or Return Economy Flights to Japan from Virgin. It received +70 votes and 342 ozbargains have marked themselves entering the competition. Good luck!
mingofmongo for posting this deal of Kogan SmartKettle for $49, and his attempt of saving chores earned him the comment "best description" which happened to be the most voted comment in November. The actual description of the deal might not be everyone's cup of tea (no pun intended), but thanks for the effort in posting up a deal.
Congratulations!

MSG for posting the deal of the month, Free Google Nest Mini for YouTube Premium / Google Play Music Subscribers. It got 900+ votes & 20,000+ click-throughs although it only applies to YouTube Premium subscribers (that are not on GSuits).
kosh52 for posting the most clicked & most won competition last month, Win 1 of 6 Prizes from The Body Shop. Due to relatively high probability of winning, the competition has been clicked 31,000+ times and 31 OzBargainers have marked themselves as winners. Congratulations!
Since I've awarded both dealbot and gnv9 for the contributors of 2019, I thought we'll give to other big contributors last month.
Lysander for posting 86 deals in December with vote average of +47, where all but 2 deals are PC games on either Steam or Epic (the other 2 deals were for XB1). The hottest deal post was (appropriately named) Free Superhot on EPIC.
cheapha for posting 121 competitions in December with vote average of +4.4, most popular being Win a $1000 Gift Card from The Observer/The Daily Examiner whereas most entered was Win a $200 Gift Card from Willow and Beech.
Congratulations!
