    Does it work with custom server? I tried to use the free slot with BuyVm, it never worked for me. Just kept on disconnecting.

    The overview post on the first page makes it much easier to access if you don't want to read 300 pages of GIF spam.
    Although this is probably the 'non-profit' variant of BF hosting deal aggregation, clearly the better one by accessibility.
    Or is @FAT32 over on OGF not getting some bilohbucks?

    Also no previews, so offers don't get sneaked up early. And a moderation team that quickly reacts on feedback <3

    Everything is decided after lots of considerations and it isn't as simple as it sounds, we let the provider choose whether they want to be inside the preview or not.

    Usually, each deal costs me about 20 minutes from the start of communication with the provider to finish, sometimes I also have to spend time and discuss about random stuff because that's how to negotiate or make a deal that is exclusive / special enough to the audience.

    This is excluding the time spent on looking for providers, there will be much less providers if I am just sitting there waiting for them to submit. I contacted roughly 200 providers (Manually, no excel merge) after understanding their locations and services provided, so it is easier to communicate or ask for deals. Among them only 80 providers joined our flash sale.

    In addition, providers can also choose which time slot they want their deals to be posted. The whole process is honestly pretty exhausting because I have to make all providers happy, which isn't easy. For example, some providers might argue that why they can't post a deal that they already posted somewhere, which I reply then there's no point calling it a flash sale anymore, but they insists me to post it. So ya there's a lot of behind the scene that a lot of people just doesn't know about, but I have to maintain my professionalism and try to follow the principle of customer (in this case provider) is always right.

    Anyway, no I am not getting paid, this is just the way I choose to contribute back to the community.


    If I have sufficient time, I definitely hope to make it even better, everything including the design and formatting are all made with love by myself.

    Jebus, that’s far too much effort for one guy for nothing. Biloh needs to pay you out, even if you just use the money to buy stuff to give out to the community, it’s ridiculous you’re making all the effort to line the pockets of others and getting nothing in compensation.

  • And another issue is the people, some members are demanding too much when they literally pay nothing to participate. Making all kind of false accusation and claims that providers is dishonest.

    I am wondering who in the right mind would still want to contribute in the future, I definitely will not be one of them, I am tired. It is so much relax to just sit there and press F5 all day, I don't even have to get blamed for things that I do out of my goodwill.

    I mean he has the whole list of BF deals at his finger tips, I'd probably do that job for the ability to be able to snag a few of these deals guaranteed before the community gets them.

    Just want to say, you're doing an amazing job and I'm in amazement on how you manage all of it yourself! I threw this together with just a fraction of the outreach you did and quickly became a bit overwhelmed, so I can only imagine the mountain of stuff you're dealing with.

    Hats off to you, mate

    Edit: plus I've had the added help of a few awesome mods ( @FrankZ, @bikegremlin, @MichaelCee ) to pick up my slack ;)

    It all sounds fun theoretically until you realize the time saved (to either do freelance/part-time) could pocket me more money than saving the few tens dollars from BF deals

    Let's do the maths, 20 minutes x 150 deals = 3000 minutes = 50 hours. Even a low $20/hr can profit me $1000, good enough for me to get a Macbook Air, how nice is that?

    JB has offered you money and you turned it down right?

  • @beanman109 said:

    Don't worry, I actually have a full-time job but I really just like the community and the idea of lowend so much, perhaps because I am also a cheapskate myself :) At the most extreme case I actually took 2 days off last year to organize the BF event, but I am really happy with the final result (minus the people who are not satisfied)

    That said, I have to remind myself next year again to not do this again... it is too tiring :sweat_smile: especially still having a job

    Ya, it is about the community, if I receive the money from either party then I would have to "side" them a bit, naturally

    Fair point, guess they've got a reason to make their offers easily traceable by product id without the use of a additional coupon code. Wouldn't be the first time.

    @FAT32 said: Anyway, no I am not getting paid, this is just the way I choose to contribute back to the community.

    Ouch. Thanks for your passion than, didn't mean to offend you if I did. Speaking out of the 'I'm fed up of reading hundreds of pages filled with people crying about offers while just looking for the main attraction.' position.

    Understood that it's your community contribution the last years, but with the provider fee I would have imagined there is a budget for your work too. Clearly, you got the eye-catcher offers over on OGF.

    @FAT32 thank you for the offers. I highly appreciate your involvement. However, I strongly believe you should NOT be doing all this work for free when someone else gets all the money.

    I liked getting involved in Black Friday last year precisely because it was the free passion for servers and for people. Now someone gets to make profits from your work. It's stupid and it's unfair. I exercise my right to protest against that.
