So I see a lot of older threads being bumped in the "Great Deals" section. People still talking about the item long after the sale, or at least it being a good deal is over.
Now this is in fact a great thing, as those threads often end up becoming very helpful about a specific product/item and have lots of people helping each other, giving advice, showing builds and so on.
All that made me think that having a section under "Sales, Deals, and Trades" where mods could retire/move old "Great Deals" to, once the deal is over.
This could not just help keeping "Great Deals" more current to look through. But also help not to scare people off getting involved in one of the good threads, that spawned from a Great Deal post. Since they might not want to bump an older thread, making others think the Deal is still active or back on, when its not.
It would also be a lot less work for mods, than if they were to archive older threads by moving them into more specific sections like fx. "Processors and Motherboards". Once they become a product thread and a no longer an active Deal thread.
I’ll end by saying I really enjoy the STH site and the community the forum has grown over the years.
