Possible death of deals.woot

This morning at deals.woot.com, cannot vote, post, or comment.

Dunno if site probs, policy changes. Or site death.

The site has been on life-support in terms of usefullness or months if not years, and mod policies of the past drove almost everyone away - many of those who didn't leave out of disgust left because there was almost no-one home.

The forums had some good stuff, and still do, in the archives, which i hope remain available even if the site dies, tho lately many of the Community questions were clearly from shills.

The "deals" part has degenerated well past usefullness into parody, tho a stalwart few souls continued until yesterday to find and post actual deals in spite of sometimes having them voted down by amazon storefront shills. Most of the "deals" on the site are just the usual valueless amazon storefront junk, not even at a good price for "junk".

Sponsored deals: lately they've been doing valueless mystery boxes.

The whole place kinda smells.

I dont know why deals couldnt overcome the junk and shills. Slickdeals, fatwallet, other sites handle this.

I wouldn't mind seeing the site get fixed and revived (if that is even possible)...but if they've killed it, i spoze it's way past time, given lack of any productive changes.

Havent seen any sort of announcement. Dunno. Anyone know anything?
