It's been real fun. Almost made it to 17 years of nearly daily visits. I will miss the chuckles. I will miss the heart thumping race against FW effect to get in on a deal. Goodbye, y'all.

Avoir adios aloha. Astalavista baby. Thanks for the savings and the T-shirt! Everyone have a great life hope to see you again on Amazon or Walmart or Target.com. Too many emotions not enough deals . buy buy!!

Spent many a day (almost everyday) searching for great deals on FatWallet
Been my home page on all my desktops & laptops since I joined back in 2004
Looks like the fat lady is about to sing......
It's been a great site & will be sorely missed by all

It's been fun.

Where are my badges?

I left in opposition to the ban on crowdfunded projects. I felt it wasn't right, and only have posted a few times since to correct rampant misinformation.

It's sad to see what Ebates did to the site. I attempted to reach out to the execs to purchase the forums, even sans members... but it fell on deaf ears. I presume they fear backlash related to Cashback and future competition.

It would be nice to see a true rebuild of the format and style of FW, but frankly web publishing is in such a sad state today (the ad block wars and mobile wars have ruined publishing right now) - I can't justify it. Making good money on other ventures today.

No point in spreading poxes, wouldn't change anything. Just sad all around.

To my friends and fellow members at Fatwallet, I will leave you guys with a small poem.

As a father, I have teach my kids to value to save.
As a husband, I have purchase a lot of great gifts for my wife.
As a son, I now understand how hard my parents work to rise me and my siblings.
As a member of FatWallet since 2001, I had survivied 9/11 and the blackout @ NYC. You will always be part of me.
This is not the end, this is a new beginning.
Its been a great pleasure to be a part of this great community!
