Hey all,

I've been pretty absent from this community over the summer. Life got a hold of me and I've been pretty busy. In my absence, a bot was made by @Poutinetown that was wonderful and able to post deals which is what I had originally hoped could be done for this community. I've made @Poutinetown a mod so that if I go absent again (I will try not to), at least someone can attempt to keep things going.

I have also reached out to a couple of the admins of this instance in hopes of getting the bot unbanned, since without it, it is a rather quiet community and who REALLY wants to manually post deals? Let's hope that this can be resolved!
