[quote name='sj41'][quote name='6669']The problem with updating the main page is that these deals end so fast, by the time they're updated, they'll probably be dead anyway.[/quote]Some last awhile, others don't. And i's not that hard to update the OP every few days to get rid of the old offers and post some new ones.

And to punqsux... I feel like I was just Sweeney'd. :([/quote]

Also agreed :).
 
I see nothing wrong with the way it is now. I don't see it as a 70 page topic since i only have to go back a page or two to find out the newest deals. It really isn't THAT difficult to do and i don't understand what all of the complaints are about.

im really not complaining....im defending the way it is as well as offering a new (maybe more user-friendly) way.....id rather it be this way than all separate threads for each new deal
 
[quote name='Gojtron']subs for less.com, how do you get the deal?[/quote]

i just looked, and you have to click on "mens" on the lefthand menu, then click on which magazine you want, then there are two drop down menus on the right, one of which is the free subscription.

unfortunately, while i was looking at the site, i realized that it will still end up costing around $3.50 a subscription with the free one ($7 total or so), so it's not really the deal i had originally thought.
 
I would rather have everything in one thread so I can just look over the last few pages. If we have to start picking through different threads, people will lose interest. Just my 2 cents...
 
Just wanna say my thanx for all the free subs you guys have provided me! Finally...Maxim, FHM, and Stuff...never had the money for it...and it comes to my door for free....love this site! woot!
 
[quote name='trustcompany1013']i see legit new free magazine subs a few times a week...its common enough to me....and as far as updating the OP made by cheapy on this thread goes....any mod can feel free to take care of that, but they don't seem to care enough, even though its a sticky made by cheapy....and i too stopped looking in this thread a few months ago, because it seemed that nothing new was coming up...but if you check every few days, you'll soon see just how much attention this thread actually gets....i personally vote for a "magazine deals thread", where you ONLY post links to magazine deals....and than another thread titled "magazines deals discussion"...where you can discuss the magazine deal that was posted in the magazine deals thread....that way, you don't have to search through the thousands of "do these really work", "did anyone get this", and "can you find me a cosmo sub" posts in order to find an actual magazine deal....sorry for the rambling...hopefully this is readable...[/quote]

That's the best idea, in my opinion.

Agreed, sounds good, Not to far back that was pretty much what the thread was like, but over time got to be much more discussion/banter and very few deal posts.
 
Other than one person trying to keep track of current deals on a first page . . . if someone wants to do it?! I don't see a need for changes. We could use the launch of a fresh thread (with the same title).

That would be cool for the outsiders who continue to come in here and post nonsense gripes "are there any deals?" . . .

I think this format is fine, but we need less bull$#@& posts (like mine right here and all of this discussion) and just posts for mags!!!

If we have an updated first-page format, it's likely that many deals will be dead by the time they reach that page . . . but that's ok.
 
Leave it alone.....If people cant figure out to come to the end of a long thread to read the latest, they dont deserve the free FHM I'm reading right now. :twisted:
 
I agree zewone. All you have to do is go to the last page and see the most current deal. I got Computer Shopper, FHM, Blender, CGM, Stuff, and Maxim from here. It's ok the way it is.
 
I say we let Moxio decide. He posts 75% of the mag subs anyway.
I would prefer to leave it as is, not that difficult to navigate, just takes looking through 3 pages or less usually.
 
I check the last page of the thread everyday. I see no problem with the way it is now. I get new mags almost weekly without having to dig through the entire thread. These deals only last a few hours anyways so you'd be updating the front page constantly trying to get rid of dead links.
 
Whats all the arguing about? I'm getting free magazines and I'm sure a lot of you are as well so lets just keep it going the same way as it has. And when this thread gets to big let Moxio or someone who contributes a lot this thread start a new one. Not a big deal and for sure this thread isn't dead. Theres new magazines posted every week and this thread can also be used to help others out by giving them links to customer service and posting about past experiences to help out .

I pretty much agree with zewone

it not broke at the moment so don't fix it.

If Maximo would feel up to this task or someone else a new thread with slighly more updated posts on a front page with newer added one's on the later pages and then updated to the front page when possible would be nice. The guide thread was cluttered all to heck and I knew it would be much more effective with a list so I decided to try to tackle that one. It has been much subdued lately sadly. Either way though I am quite happy that these are here. It has helped the midnight shift pass so much easier.

Thanks again all.
 
Thanks Moxio. Again, i would love to leave the thread the way it is. I'm still getting new magazines in the mail and I've had no problems reading this thread.

He's a fluke, I swear.
 
I don't know why your rolling your eyes. The topic that was locked wasn't started by me. I only came across it a way down there near the end of the first page.

No problem. Just remember if you already get those mags in print and checked to receive them in digital, your subscription will change to digital and you wont get them in print anymore :(. you can always call them up and have it changed back though.
