Fatwallet is gone, SlickDeals suck, and there are no competitors out there. I need help finding non-gaming deals and somewhere to post the non-gaming deals I find. The non-gaming sub-forums here don't really get much activity. Ever consider creating a generic deal site? There seems to be a need out there for a site with an actual community.
CheapyD, ever consider creating a generic deal site

1. Wow, i somehow missed that Fatwallet is gone.
2. We have a whole new website coming very soon. We are going to try to simplify the forum layout a bit and there should be more emphasis on non-gaming deals. Would love your participation and input. Thanks!

Yah, Fat Wallet got bought out, then the new owners redirected all the traffic to a coupon site. I think the great thing about Fatwallet was that it had a community of mods that went through the forums and highlighted the best deals on the front page of the website each day and then sub-pages of category deals. Slickdeals doesn't do it as well. Also, they have a lot of paid deal placement of deals that aren't good at all.
Also, I'm in Indianapolis, and I can't access the Slickdeals website from my Comcast home Internet or from the Internet at my Fortune 500 company's office. I can only access it via my Verizon cell phone connection. It's been like this for about 2 years now. Whatever web host they use is horrible.
So is this a whole new website you are releasing separate from CAG or a redesign of CAG? I'd hate to see CAG change to have less of a gaming focus, as this is an awesome gaming community. A separate site would be great though.
