Uninformative stub about a bargain hunting website. Claims an October 2006 Alexa rank of 3,240, but this is a questionable claim to notability. Most of this article is concerned with forum members and the site's founder, this information is backed up by minor primary sources and an interview posted on a popular blog. I don't believe there's any coherent explanation of why this website is notable, nor is there any salvageable content here that might be useful in any other article. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 21:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Very bad article, with WP:BLP issues. In the olden days WP:WEB used to demand an Alexa rank in the top 10,000. I don't think it does so any longer, but this higher rank (around 4200 today, following the link in the article) may indicate that the site is notable. I'll report the WP:BLP concerns elsewhere and provisionally will say delete here for want of reliable sourcing. AndyJones (talk) 12:41, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. WP:WEB gives three criteria for notability and this article meets none of them. Alexa rank is not part of the criteria. Itsmejudith (talk) 12:55, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No boobs, just n00bs. Gathering place for the socially disfunctional.  CompWhiz17 is OK though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.162.0.44 (talk) 13:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
