- Prime Day is in a couple of weeks which will start out the shopping season.
- OzBargain Birthday. Seems like meetups will probably be a bad idea. I've seen OzBargainers eat pizza at meetups and probably don't want OzBargain to be the new Ruby Princess.

Lysander for posting last month's most voted deal — Free HITMAN and Shadowrun Collection at Epic Store. That continues the trend of free games from big marketplaces getting high votes. Lysander has also posted the most deals in August — 185 of deals with vote average of +29.5 (180 of them are under the Gaming category).
nqcthanh for posting the most popular Electrical / Electronics deal last month, Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Cancelling Headphones $351 at The Good Guys Commercial. Electrical & Electronics has been the category getting the most deals last month, and I suspect WH-1000XM4 would actually be one of the most popular item on OzBargain this year. Good job for the great 1st post as well.
gnv 9 for posting 201 competitions in August, with vote average of +16.9, including the most voted comp Win Sony Prize Packs or Sony WH-1000XM4 from Sony and most clicked comp Win a Volkswagen T-Roc X from Sydney Swans/Volkswagen. That's 45% of all the competitions in August.
Hargain Bunter for being an awesome power user in August, as recommended by the moderators. He has been very helpful in assisting the moderators.
