Hey Jeni740,
Thanks for your reply to this post - I appreciate your input. Let's go into that a bit more. From the start of this site (and the old site that led to this site) I always had the impression that it was easier to find a bonus if it was in the format of the main pages here rather than digging through the forum. My reasoning is simple - Many of the bonuses you'd find in a forum thread are going to be ones that you have already used. Thus, if they are all on the main page - It makes it easier to see them all at once and know which ones you have used and which ones you haven't.

For those who have been around for a while - You'll remember that the forum was the last thing added. The site consisted of the main pages without a forum for a little while.

In my honest opinion (doesn't mean I am correct) - I believe the way things are setup now are the best for everyone. It is easy to navigate the main pages and use the bonuses. If we kept all of the posts in the forum - People would run into the problem of using the bonus from the main page and then trying to use the same bonus that they found in the forum. That is another reason why we remove posts (I had forgotten to mention that earlier).

Before I started this site I went through many many forums as a player and was always frustrated about having to go through all of the various threads only to find that the majority of the threads were bonuses I have already used.

You mentioned that "people miss out on old bonuses because they are no where to be found." I will have to disagree with you there. Traca and myself do not remove bonuses that are old and valid - We only remove bonuses that are old and expired. If any other bonuses are removed it is to protect the members (such as deleting a bonus that is listed for a casino that has a proven history of bad practices).

I've seen many sites similar to NDN and I really feel that we have something great here. The simple and easy to navigate main pages should be helpful to everyone. You can find the terms for each bonus quickly and thus maximize your chances of cashing out from a "no deposit" bonus by following the rules.

I will make a poll - But it really wouldn't change things too much. Traca and myself would still delete posts that we felt didnt' meet the standards of NDN. I would still feel as though all duplicate posts (bonuses that are on the main page and then posted in the forum) should be deleted. I would also continue to remove new offers and list them on the main page to make it easier to navigate for everyone.

Perhaps the poll results will go against my opinions - If that's the case changes will be made.

Would a "bonus talk" area of the forum be a helpful thing to add? That way people can discuss various bonuses that are listed on the main page and not in the forum (this would still be monitored and bonuses that Traca & I feel should not be listed would be removed).

I welcome more feedback from everyone on this!

Thanks,
NDN
