Post by: Josh on October 07, 2007, 08:46 PM: Mouser has had me hold off on removing it since he is posting in the "Announce your site" section. However, it would be nice for him to post about himself, his affiliation with the site, etc.

Post by: yboycn on October 07, 2007, 08:55 PM: Hi guys,

This is my own site, I have posted it before at some other forum but it was deleted. Then I realized it should be posted at "Announce Your Software/Service/Product" section. This is the right place to post, right?

Thank you.

Post by: Ralf Maximus on October 07, 2007, 09:13 PM: So... come here often?

Post by: mouser on October 07, 2007, 09:15 PM: This is the right place for people to post about their software and sites, and i do not view it as spam if posted here. He didn't try to pretend that he wasn't associated with the site, and i think by posting it here one is implicitly saying they are associated with the site, so i really don't see any problem with the post.

Post by: Wordzilla on October 07, 2007, 09:52 PM: I find he has an interesting understanding of the term "freeware" ;D ;D:

Q: How do you figure discounted software as Freeware?
A: well, the discounted part is free to you.

I had the same experience but edited a similar comment out of my previous post after I recognised the Cucosoft line that he is offering... Still, nothing there of interest that I could see, but that might just be me.

Post by: Lashiec on October 08, 2007, 02:41 PM: Check out the antivirus section, he's offering interesting software like Kaspersky or a-squared. The other sections could unearth more good deals. Seems like an affiliated site (in some way) with Regnow, as it looks he offers pretty much what they're selling, only that it carries a discount. Oh well, those resellers (Regnow) don't look very trustable to me (yeah, I'm a paranoid type of guy :P).

I'm not sure if you were joking, but if you weren't, I can assure you that RegNow is a very reputable dealer. Digital River (http://corporate.digitalriver.com/store/driv/Corp/sectionName.commerce/subSectionName.shareware/page.shareware) is a huge company that has been around the block of the software industry many times over and is well respected. Plimus (http://www.plimus.com/) can also be trusted. Between those, and a few others, I have purchased several hundreds of dollars worth of software. And many of the vendors that visit these forums and offer members discounts sell their software via these services as well.

Post by: Lashiec on October 08, 2007, 03:19 PM: Yeah, it was a bit of a joke, I prefer to buy directly from the software makers if it's possible.
Title: Re: Announcing discountsoft.org, including thousands discount coupons
Post by: Ralf Maximus on October 08, 2007, 03:54 PM: I'll second that: DigitalRiver and RegNow are solid; been customers of theirs in the past to the tune of maybe a kilobuck or so.
