Overstock posts overflooding the forums?

Hi guys, has anyone else been finding it slightly more difficult to find the "old Spoofee" deals since we started the overstock.com threads? It's a great new feature, but the threads for it are overrunning the other ones.
Is there any way we can separate out the two things, so that looking for new posts doesn't bring up everyone's requests to Chris? Or maybe it's just me... :hmm:
 
Thank you for pointing that out we are still working out the kinks please be patient with us ;) I know Spoofee-Coupons has been working his tail off on this!
 
Would it make it any easier for Chris (or anyone else browsing the posts) if there was a form that one would fill out to make it easier to sort? For example, one text box for item number/link, one for the original price, one for the discount (% off or specific price, >25% off = auto-deny), one is for the type of item (electronics, Housewares, DVD/CD/Book-(automatic denial choice)) and one for any comments (Free Shipping requests, etc.) It seems like the majority of posts come from people with no previous posts, don't read the rules (30-40% off is not going to happen, no media items) and Erik has to bust his @ss writing "i'm sorry, your request was denied because you're retarded. But welcome to Spoofee, thanks for lowering the average IQ." Would this be possible and/or help at all?

Edit:
Anyone else notice Spoofee's been running a tad slow the past couple days, starting around 9-9:30 EST? Could it be b/c of the Overstock hits?

First, great job for Spoofee-Coupons and OverstockChris! Great job, Spoofee! Spoofee is getting big, I hope it doesn't loose the warmth and social interaction among users, unlike other anti-social deal forums...

And what a job Erik has! You need any help, dude? :)

Now with Overstock deal, I believe a lot of lurkers now started to signup, which is great! But for those who didn't read the rules, I believe needs to be warned in a polite way. Adding the Overstock deal rules in the signup message may not be a bad idea...

I also noticed that Spoofee site is rather slow these days.
 
He3x, I'm okay, I think, but thanks! :)

ksocia, I totally agree with you. Right now it's forum based, so I have no idea what to do since I only help with the forums and not the page in whole. I'm sure Spoofee will see these comments and we'll work out something. For now, I'm running it in a "form based" way on the forums, it just takes a lot of work on my part, which I don't mind. Let's see how everything goes, but thanks to you all for the comments.
