Don't get me wrong, I love the Got|Apex? forums but this site seems to have more deals on their deals page.

Of course, gotapex is my favorite, especially the forums page which is updated all day long by the readers; After that:

http://www.techbargains.com

http://www.dealhunting.com

http://www.bigbigsavings.com

http://www.amazing-bargains.com

And for deals throughout the day:

http://www.ubid.com

http://www.egghead.com

http://www.half.com

That pinnicle site totally jacked our Suckage/Not-Suckage forum!!! But the funny part is that the admins are the only ones who use the forums. Thank god Gotapex never had that problem. They built up their user base before putting a forum in.

hapoo: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

pinnacledeals.com is a new site that just started. It takes time to build up a viewing audience and bbs membership. Good luck on your site giambona. :)

Anandtech had a problem with trolls using free email addresses. Hence the reason why people can't register with certain email addresses {like yahoo).

That guy completely ripped off my site, word for word. He even went so far as to spam the url in MY message boards and have his personal contact info available through whois.

If it goes on, I will sue him without hesitation.

The front page was taken down as soon as the news broke that site ripped off Dealhunting.
However other pages are still up.

I think he feared the worse and took it down.
