It creates joyful environment for the user. But the site is ugly in nature, using a forum for deal posting. The smiles make the site more ugly. I honestly don't know what makes the users to come to the site and post data. There are many deals sites like slickdeals provides deals based on forum but they are not popular like slickdeals. My personal opinion is that people won't come and post to win a iPOD. Even many sites cheats by promising offers or lucky draw for user, I don't know users are attracted to it. Try thinking differently. You may take all the deal posting community to your site. Best of luck slickdeals won because it provide more place for nastiness for user to pull each others leg.
