Members of the Month

July 2020

  • dealbot for posting the most popular deal last month, Free Watch Dogs 2 @ Ubisoft. It's just another game that gets added to my long queue of free Steam / Epic / Obisoft games that need to be played. dealbot has also posted 65 deals in July where 59 of them got onto the OzBargain front page.

  • sixcurve for posting the most clicked deal last month, 60,000 Free Domino's Pizzas. Together with 50,000 Free Pizza Hut Pizzas posted by dealbot, that would pretty much feed all the OzBargainers this month. Still one day to go to grab more free food tomorrow.

  • On the topic of freebies, headphonejack posted the quickest deal that made to front page & +100 votes — Free Case of Koyomi Delivered @ Beam Suntory. It got to +100 votes in less than 12 minutes, where all 1,000 were claimed by then (otherwise it would probably get more votes).

  • nocure for making the most front-page deals again this month. nocure has posted 121 deals (2nd in July) but 69 of them got onto the OzBargain front page with vote average of +56.55. Most popular being Free eBook - Learn to Play Piano on Amazon Kindle.

    • +2

      There should be a top 10 for KD ratio

      • Yeah, I want to know the top 10 valuable commenter, not who the spammers are. Anyone could get in the top 10 for just making lots of random comments, but who are the top commenters by value? Who consistently makes comments and gets upvotes.

        And a bottom 10 would be nice as well. Who made the least valuable contributions.

        • I guess you'd have to have a threshold of minimum comments. Davo1111 had the most popular comment of the month with 330 votes but only 25 comments for the month.

          • +1

            @neil: I guess, yeah. Someone could only have made one “comedy” comment for the month and get 300 votes and have a K:D of 300:1, where someone who made consistently good contributions, but had a lot of comments might be 300:265…

            I still like knowing what the top and bottom ranked comments are, but like the deals section, it would be nice to know who is consistently making a positive contribution for the month through the comments and forums.

            • +1

              @pegaxs: I'll have a think about what the threshold should be. Maybe I'll present them as 25, 50, 100, and see what it shows.

  • 350,000 free donuts / 12 (dozen) = 29,165

    42,383 traffic minus 29,165 = 13,218 dissapointed donut munchers.

    wth is this?

    • Australian based site for discussions in Chinese.

      Savvy Buyer Section of their site.

      • Cor they onto some good stuff there, from what I can tell from auto translate. It's like a much more organised and industrious version of OZB in the making. Has OurSteps gone public yet, can we invest?

        Unfortunately replies to each post on there is hidden from unregistered users.

    • Maybe you need more learnings

  • My name is ChipsChicky, Commentator of the Armies of the North, Badge holder of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Ozbargain. Father to a murdered Deal, husband to a murdered Post . And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

    gnv9 deserves a prize every month for how dedicated they are to competitions

    • +1

      Always good to see new faces getting the monthly award rather than the same lot recycled everytime. Though in saying that for most deals, most competitions etc. it generally is always the same lot of people and it can be difficult finding other reasons for getting it.

      • difficult finding other reasons for getting it.
