I was not a follower in the sense that I hung on every word posted at fatwallet. I was completely caught by surprise to hear that Fatwallet was shutting down. What happened?

From what we understand Rakuten decided to pull the plug. It must not have been very profitable.

Rakuten decision makers are STUPID. That’s what happened.

Thanks for creating this site. I couldn’t live without my daily fix of hot deals, OT, FWF, and the rest.

Christ, member since Jan 2001.
My best deal was Weber Silver C, which I managed to get for $290 from Home Depot in 2002.
Oh well, here’s to the next 16 years!

Thanks for setting this up.
Member since Nov. 2004 but mostly a reader, will try and post more these next 13 years…

There is a dedicated FW stats thread now for anyone who’s interested:

Hi: Happy to find this forum. I hope we can somehow save some of the (still)good information from FWF and save it here. Great to see some name that I recognized.
-
Hi, glad to be here. Came here from that other site that is closing.
-
Please help us generate some alternative forum names in case we can’t keep the current one. There’s now a $50 Amazon GC for anyone who’s submission wins.

glad to be here, sad the original is gone! happy to help as needed…
-
Good to find a new home.
-
Just wanted to say thank you for the scramble to get this together. I haven’t been around much since fatcash went away, but I’d pop in once in awhile. I have no idea what the chain of events are that lead to the site closing, I’m shocked though. Anyway, again thank you for getting this going.
-
RIP FatWallet; God save PhatWalletForums! Thank you so much for working to keep doors open for all of us!
ETA: Been on FW since 2006.
Here’s a parakeet. Have a nice day.
-
Great job on the quick turnaround. Definitely hoping this takes off and will do what I can to support it. Happy to see many of the key users present from the jump. Let’s do this.
-
I true FW spirit… I’m in!
-
Very happy to be here, thank you for your hard work setting this up. It looks great.
-
I have not been posting at FW for years now but have continued to lurk and read discussions. I’m glad there’s a new set up where FWR can hang out to continue discussions.

@dangeruss glad to be here was a longtime fatwallet member and now i am looking forward to being a longtime phatwallet member

Ditto that!!
I’m here for any questions, qualms, queries, or anything else that starts with a “Q.”

Thank you for this forum - happy to see so many familiar names.

You should feel free to use it for your signature. I require no credit for anything I say (blame maybe).

@ctgolfer Glad to see ya!

HI folks,
It’s been a tough few days. I will miss the community that became Fatwallet.
I like to thank the folks that made this place but also would love to come to a consensus choice among the many. Is the admins here also trying to work with SiS/DaveHanson?

Is that the guy with the lemonade and the cookies who tells everybody to "have a seat over there"?

@ctcarl just take a seat. You’re on To Catch a Creditor, and my name’s Dave.

Looks like threads don’t have page numbers (yet). Hopefully that’ll be addressed as this site gets enhanced. In the meantime, just saying hello.

This forum has infiniscroll, but if you prefer pagination, you can enable it under your settings.

So it does… Doesn’t seem to let you configure beyond 20 Topics per page or 20 Posts per thread. I increased both to 50, SAVED SETTINGS, then refreshed the settings page. It reverted both values back to 20. Regardless, pagination is more FW-like. Thx!

@zennuts Looks like SiS and DaveHanson are moving over to www.FragileDeal.com.
I’m joined up there and here as well. Happy to see FWF live on.

@thisguy http://fragiledeal.com/ was registered yesterday, but it doesn’t work. How are you registered there?

I like this software a lot. Will take some getting used to, but very cool.

Thanks for pointing out my typo. Apparently you need the “www” at the beginning.
[I just PM’d their admin to fix that and gave you attribution, @jaytrader]
-
@thisguy got it. I typed it myself and it worked. Thanks.
Also, SIS posted over at FWF about this: https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/finance/1586557?showmessage=19976930

I’ll add my thanks for setting up this site.
I’m still in disbelief that FW will be gone soon… I’ll do whatever I can to support the FW Refugees’ new home.

Thanks for setting this up!

Thanks, I’ll have to file it as a bug if true.
