TRY me free hunt board

It is about 36 pages long and has relatively few TMF's relative to the number of posts.
There's a little too much chit chat going on for my liking. I suggest the current board to be locked for a few weeks/months (then deleted) and a new board started, with rules that you post your find with as much detail as you can (including T&c's) any follow ups to the same find (from other people) should be just to clarify certain aspects of how to obtain/find the offer, If the OP wants to follow up they should edit the original post.
Only a suggestion.

I actually split the 'Try Me Free Thread' a couple of months ago and removed a lot of the older posts about TMFs that are no longer available.
Most people start at the last page and work backwards - that's probably the best way to do it!I will have another prune, but it does take some time, so won't be just yet.
None of these older posts are deleted, they are just 'split off' into a new thread, so they can still be viewed if needed.
As for the 'chatty' posts, most of them occured before the 'thanks' button was introduced. It's less obvious now, as people can use the thanks button and do not need to post thanks.
I personally find it useful when people post to say that they've found a TMF already mentioned and list which supermarket they found it in.0 -
Can I say that I noticed "mhoc" - Mary, making a similar comment on the TMF board so it's not just annoying me, see post #382 on page 39 TMF.
I suggest you have two threads, one thread purely for announcing new TMF's including dates of validity and t&c's, and the other thread called TMF discussion, where people can chit chat about this and that.0 -

I've split the discussion about expired offers from the main Try Me Free thread. That should help people find the information they are looking for.
As for the number of pages, you can change the settings so that you view more posts per thread. Go into 'Quick Links' and then 'Edit Options.' Under Thread Display Options you can choose to have up to 40 posts per page. That will help to reduce the number of pages per thread.
Hope that has helped a little.0
