    Aww, how sad it's come down to this :(

    Speaking as a seasoned 'bootser' - this is a sad day indeed, i met loads of virtual friends on there, and had great fun in my escapades :(

    I'd like to see us Bootsers end up on some kind of suitable forum together, hopefully someone can set something up and let us know.

    I think it a shame that the Boots Grabbit is going to be no more. I understand MSE Andrea wanting to close it if there's been lots of problems.

    If a proboard is set up only the members registered there will be able to see the bargains posted on there and the many mse who only read the Boots grabbit thread will miss out on these, there are many lurkers who just like to read about bargains but not post. The last trouble on the grabbit pages as far as I'm aware was when someone complained about not being allowed on a the boots proboard that is already set up.

    Andrea isn't saying that Boots bargains can't be posted she is just asking for more work as she is asking people to set up a new thread when they spot a bargain or a glitch. Just over the last few days I've seen

    .... reductions on bath and shower products
    ....get the NO7 watch without spending £22
    ....Nivea bargain on .com £56.?? worth of product from .com with gwp for only £16.??
    ....reduced no7 lip gloss
    ....naked body butter for 1.50 and BOGOF

    that would be 5 new threads just off the top of my head just from the last few days so there would be even more threads for the mods to monitor but that is what Andrea is asking for.

    I don't want to see the end of the grabbit thread but keeping it positve the bargains can still be posted for all to find, it's just going to be a case of reading lots of threads. The posting of the nargains can go ahead if I've read Andrea's post correctly. The only thing that is to change is lots of threads and they won't be a sticky.
