@mrburatti That’s probably because many of them closed. When Kmart and Sears merged in 2005, there were over 3,500 stores. Emerging from their recent bankruptcy, they’ll be down to around 400 stores nationwide.
@therealjrn No idea exactly, but I just looked in the top right and it seems to be gone. I just used it a couple of days ago, so sometime between then and now.
@kensey@therealjrn Bottom of the home page, under “Meh” column, is a link to previous deals, in a no-frills listing. (Just now checked it; don’t know if it was there when y’all posted or not.)
For anybody new here, depending on what you need, the mehstalker link might be more informative.
@kensey@therealjrn I think finding Meh things while they continue to hide/obscure/obfuscate/destroy them is meant to be another puzzler, similar to Jason Toon’s daily poser, only no coupon involved.
My profile page is broken too. Must be Karma. They take away the click face calendar and our record there and now they have a chain reaction with stuff breaking.

Am I the only one whose dark bars representing unread posts have all but quit working this week?
ETA: They work sometimes, like when I posted this comment. But most of the time when I’m browsing the forum in my usual style (open threads in new tabs, mostly by the last comment link) there are no bars to be found.
They seem to be working today. I might owe @shawn some thanks, or it could be that the bit gnomes are taking the day off from jacking with my stuff.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I miss the old meh.
Am I the only one who isn’t the only other one?
/giphy broken
The main reason I visited this site every morning was “the streak.” Without, I’m much less meh-tivated to be here.
The new t-shirt site doesn’t even have a clicky face at all. There’s a fine line between “meh” and “this stinks.”
@txag96 Yes, it is a fine line and it was crossed days ago.
Maybe they are preparing for the buy-out by someone…
K-meh?
meh & Roebucks?
mehmart?
7-11-meh?
Mcmeh?
meh C Pennys?
Who knows??
@daveinwarsh mehcys? (Can’t wait for the giant inflatable Irk balloon!)
@daveinwarsh Mehst Buy?
@chienfou @daveinwarsh Wouldn’t it be great to see Irk passing by Macys on Thanksgiving day? And the commentator’s reaction?
@daveinwarsh I love it, but I think instead of mehmart, it would be walmeh.
@daveinwarsh @mrburatti I automatically thought kmart when I saw mehmart… didn’t even occur to me it might be a walmart reference… Doh!
@daveinwarsh You know what, it’s probably some regionalism because I don’t even think about KMarts. There aren’t any where I live.

@mrburatti @narfcake I think Kmarts are gone here too. Sears is on it’s way out.
@daveinwarsh @mrburatti @narfcake both disappeared from our local retail scene…
Also, the links to past deals seem to be gone?
@kensey What??? When did THAT happen???

I concur.
Yes.
Yes.
OK maybe I’m out of touch… I had to google:
