He’s right. At some point, Numanoid was posting almost daily about Zero-G deals. I made some comments about it during that period.

yeah, but that wasn't **all** numanoid posted here. The forum is poorer for numanoid not being here.

The forum is poorer... But we may all actually be richer!

lol, true - I bought quite a bit of stuff from seeing numanoid's posts, despite being on all manner of mailing lists etc.

btw, it's real easy to disprove the lie about numanoid's posts - just do a search for posts by numanoid in this forum and go back to pre may 2017 (when they stopped posting in the "bargains onlyl;no chat" thread).

I could say the same about your comment as there wasn't one relevant deal here been missed. Anyway, i don't get the point even if it would be true.

Now thats funny. What do you think this prove? It's simply that other members didn't post a specific deal in the past because Numanoid was faster .. ..thats all.. but again: Tell me one relevant deal you had missed since then? I say: There isn't one.

Sounds like a dumb question: you're asking me to cite deals I don't know about.

Thing is, this is a forum section about bargains - having more bargains posted makes it more useful. I don't get the point of you wanting to restrict it to "relevant" either, because it's not just about you or me. We aren't great arbiters of what makes a deal useful for the readership as a whole.

I'm not going to research it, but it sure *feels* like there are less bargains being posted post-numanoid than there were before - so the idea that others have taken up the slack *feels* out of whack with reality.

I've also been signing up for newsletters sent out by specific brands, but there are so many....

Thanks

I already did the homework for you and said that there isn't one relevant deal happened in the past you missed here. Of course feel free to miss the countless Zero-G and Shareware of the Day "deals" that's not my responsibility. :D

I find it also a little disrespectful to the members posting nowdays just sayin'.. ..and If you feel it's too little then it's your turn to make it better.

The only deals that I see missing that he was posting were « save 2 dolllars » on something kind of deals. It’s true that he was posting a lot, but for me personnaly, there was a lot of deals of this kind, with a little rebate. For me, those were not useful, but maybe some people are missing saving a buck or two.

Missing Numanoid's contribution doesn't diminish the efforts of others in the present. I visit this thread frequently, I have only posted deals occasionally and have received far more than I have given. Thanks everyone past and present.

Regardless of whether or not some of the deals that Numanoid posted were Zero-G/shareware or other plugins that I have no interest in, the fact is, that he posted more deals than anyone else.
The only other person I've seen post anywhere near as many deals is GreyLion. And Hans25 a little while back.

So yeah, I miss him posting deals :)

I just got the Sugar Bytes mail with Thesys . Amazingly on opening the box ,inside is a postcard saying there is no installer CD just a serial that will enable a download at their website. This really is a waste of resources just to deliver a serial

The reason is to keep certain countries away from specific deals.
