I’m not sure that you meant to post this thread on the home page, but it was under the list of all of the forum titles.
I moved it to the Deal Discussion forum. When you are in the text editor, you can see/change which forum you are posting to at the top of the thread.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Personally, I think it would be more important to focus on continuing popular threads from FW that are still active here.
Also, I’m not sure about mimicking another active site verbatim vs. focus on building membership and our own identity. Since a number of posters “borrow” coughplagiarizecough deals from other sites word for word, I’m not even sure that a bot is needed. Besides, it seems like one thing to overlook it if a member does it occasionally but quite another if it is our site policy to just copy large chunks of other sites onto our forums. I think it would harm our reputation.

@fivetalents I agree. Hijacking another site, might as well just go to that other site. What I think we are trying to do here is migrate the FW forums to a viable alternative site, with room to improve…

I think archiving some of the information in FW threads would be a priority.
