    BEN 3.0 is a hit.

    BEN 2.0 got cancelled by UPN.

    i tried to hijack toddsucks, but it was already taken. oh well. i guess we'll just have to listen to him troll around about his best buy experiences even more...

    This new format is much harder to read than the old one. It would help if the text was larger; tried the largest text available in IE and it doesn't help at all.

    #97/98 FFS I hope ben fixes the filters. That's my number one request for 3.0
    this_is_cool = this is cool
    ok_I'm__a_bit = ok I'm a bit
    (of course remove the underscores and turn them into single spaces to get it to show up)
    ETC
    BEN PLEASE STOP THIS THING FROM MANGLING PERFECTLY GOOD TEXT.

    #102/#103, Ben is threatening to "flog" people for posting nonsense and to report them to their ISP. I guess that takes care of Toddsucks and all of the other funny posts which made this a fun site to visit.

    Ben, the mobile pages need a link at the bottom so you can advance to the next page.

    #110, Ben is running this site with your_mom. the other side of BB is a paysite which requires you to be 18+.

    i ♥ my mom

    I echo #20 - great site, but make the font size larger. The text is tiny and there is a huge white space on the right.

    look to the right there is a drop down box under "my profile".

    the rset button next to the submit button is annoying. the last 2 posts i hit reset and had to type them all over again...

    i don't know if someone suggested this already, but i would suggest making it so that if u're at a discussion and then have to sign in to comment, after they sign in redirect them to the post they were viewing. I noticed that it just goes to the home of bensbargains. sorry if someone's suggested this already

    Sorry B, but I think the new site is a waste of your time, but at least you now have validation on the email addrs.

    you're not a complete douche after all. censoring people who post links for better deals and call you on it shouldn't be blocked, glad you got your wakeup call.

    Add #115/#116 to the list of people who are experiencing needless mangling of their posts. BEN, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
