Odd, I did a search and came up with the following from within the last two months alone:

And those are just since February.

The point everyone's trying to make to you is that it is inappropriate to ask about something that no one has any details on. It's one thing to ask for the best price on something because then you'll potentially have a few replies with links to good prices. But starting a new DDD sale thread just causes more speculation and eyerolling and no one can ever provide any concrete information on it. Sure, they *might* have a sale soon. But none of us knows that, so starting up a new thread each week to ask something that no one knows about is a waste of space. When DDD has a sale, it is usually the most widely-posted-to thread on this forum for weeks. If it's not on the front page of the Bargains forum with 5,000 replies, then they're not having a sale. It's that simple.

Creating a thread to ask a question about discussing the speculation on the possibility that there potentially might be a theoretical sale within a speculative period of time is bad. Okay?

Again, these fall within the realm of "No one knows for sure." I really wouldn't press the issue anymore if I were you since some people here have a shorter fuse with these threads than others. Just accept that your search wasn't thorough, it's bad DVDTalk netiquette to ask about DDD sales, and there will be a massive thread about it the second it does happen.

Stop asking questions.

you want to know why this thread is frowned upon? Because everyone likes and looks forward to the DDD sale. When you start a thread titled "deepdisountdvd summer sale?", it will cause every member of this forum to click on the thread thinking there might be news here. IT WASTES EVERYONE'S TIME.

You don't need a FAQ thread to cover common sense. When you join a forum (any forum) spend the first couple of weeks actually READING. You don't have to search, just read. Don't just hop in and start asking questions. If you would have spent a few hours reading threads you would have seen multiple threads like this started by other knobs.



Stew

Hope so, I have lots to catch up on and I'm willing to go into debt for it.

P.S. - Lighten up guys, you needed something to do anyway. Besides, at least you didn't get dumped by your hot young asian girlfriend today, so everyone can just fuck off.

Sorry, had to vent.

What searches did you do? I searched FORUMS for "deepdiscountdvd" and "deepdiscountdvd.com" and "deep discount dvd" and came up with blanks BEFORE I posted. Does that sound like I was remiss? Did you find those hits using THOSE searches??

But people DO have details. They know when PAST sales have been held. And past sales might give an indication for future sales.

How could I possibley know this. I just found this forum today. Did a search, found nothing. didn't see an FAQ page. Checked out a few posts under this area dn then psoted my question! Geeez! Just because something is obvious to everyday posters, doesn't mean it's obvious to newbies!

Well..I appreciate you taking the time out to explain. I certainly won't be making THIS mistake again! :^) (although I'm sure I can come up with a few others! :^P

How would I know this?? I didn't even know DDD HAD 20% off sales until recently! How would I know this is "common knowledge"?? Geez! Cut me some slack here. Just b/c YOu think something is "common knowledge" doesn't mean that it is!

Are you serious??? Spend a "couple of weeks" reading before posting??? That's what you do before you join a site? I find that claim to be highly dubious! Otherwise, you really ARE "Spartan" Stew! lol :^)

Dont' sweat it... Welcome to the forum. But you now have to post a hot dvd deal within a week or your account will self-destruct.

Actually a search for Deep Discount dvd will result in over 500 results using either form of search available on this site. The last sale was in June/July depending on whether the accidental sale counts. IF they have one this year, it will likely be around the same time since their winter sale occurred approximately one year after the previous sale.

Woohoo, first time I get in before they lock it. Moderators must be taking a nap today. Usually these threads are locked within the first 10 posts.

LMAO!!! Oh, the supidity of it all...

I just did a quick search with deepdiscountetc and sale and it was hard to find. I bought a ton of stuff 6/18, so it must have been then. We shall see...

I'm amazed the thread hasn't been locked. A day off for the moderators?

Hey - at least the thread title had a question mark! Many past threads inquiring about the 20% off sale don't even have that.

Just trying to look on the bright side of things

sigh....as everyone has so "kindly" explained..threads as to asking when a sale will be, is, unfortunately pointless. when there is one, everyone will know it..
