Welcome FatWallet Refugees
-
Just checked FW site and now refers to Ebates, so deleted my bookmark and guess that is now over.
Happy to be here and hope this becomes a great resource.
-
Hey all, glad to be here and first time labeled as a refugee… Good work everyone!
-
Welcome @Almighty1 - glad you’re here! Let us know if you have any questions or recommendations for improvement. Thanks for joining us!
-
Hi @LanceMan - yeah, deleting the bookmark was tough, but I’m not about to be redirected to ebates again. It left a really bad taste in my mouth. Anyway, we’re glad you’re here! Welcome aboard!

FW member since '04 when the deals were better and FW was fun. I think this new home will be just as good if not better!
@bobbybore We’re sure hoping so! Keeping the good folks together who make it worth a daily visit is one of the main reasons this happened. Let us know if you have any questions or ways we can make things more fun!
-
Had no idea until today! Almost went Berserk. Glad I found a post with the link to here.
-
@daz-Viking so are we! Welcome aboard.
-
FW is officially gone
the fatwallet.com got redirected to eBates

Thanks

Hi everyone. I’m QuiTu. I’ve been a FW member since 2007 and have contributed from time to time. I hope to continue the legacy of FW with the new PW forum.
-
I made it!
-
Looking forward to seeing this be a community of users and not the corporate machine that FW became after ebates and Rakuten ruined it. I sure won’t miss the biased and hypocritical moderators. Virgil27 and Nellium, are you out there? I hope not!
-
Welcome @QuiTu, @girlinblack, @yoregano, @f2000sa Glad you’re here, Need help with anything, please let me know.
-
Any words on looking into Zetaboards? Honestly, I dislike this interface and I am sure some feel the same.
-
@myster-x can you please post this in Phatwallet Support and tag @dangeRuss the administrator to see? We welcome any and all suggestions from members.

Looking at Zetaboards, it didn’t look like they were mobile friendly.
If you have specific things you don’t like about this software, we welcome your feedback in the PhatWallet Support category.

Looking forward to something new!!!

Welcome @murphdog - glad you’re here, thanks for joining us!

@yoregano Exactly what we’re hoping to avoid! Having a community counts for a lot!
-
@girlinblack We’re glad you made it! Good to see you and let us know if you have any suggestions or improvements as we continue to build out our new home!
-

Well, don’t leave us in suspense… what was your FW name? And why the new alias? Enquiring minds…

I know that avatar, but can’t place the name.

just see my updated profile

Like @FrugalFreak, I totally recognize your avatar. Welcome, it’s good to see you here!
-
oooh, my buddy the scrabble tile!
(yes I meant you in the Tech thread when I called you 5talents)
I tried to change my avatar and it said I didn’t have right to do that.
-
I was so bummed out after I got the email the other day and also when they first ditched their cashback rewards program. Hopefully this forum will be even better though.
-
Welcome @Deplorable-1 - glad you’re here and thanks for jumping right in with some contributions in the finance threads! Please let the moderator team know if you have any questions or recommendations for improvement.

@mikk1 that mod badge looks heavy. i’d rather not

Hey, are there any legal issues with resuscitating old thread from the waypack machine (https://web.archive.org/) to be hosted here? looking at a couple of my old bookmarks, it appears there was a backup right before shutdown (at least on 10/9).
-
@gheldean doubt it, worst case a lawyer will contact the forum and ask to take the thread down

I can’t control what people post on here. As long as it doesn’t violate the forum rules, I think it’s fine.
If we get a DMCA notice, we’ll take it down.

Thanks to all for the work you did. Greatly appreciated. Though I’ve been a member for a while, pretty much a lurker. Hopefully I’ll join in a bit more. I’m looking forward to my daily Phatwallet fix. Thanks again
