What happened to the Scan area of the forums?

As above

Seems to have disappeared since yesterday?

 

probably getting too many complaints or something.

 

The Birthdays thing is also missing, maybe having a re-shuffle?

I have been told that the advertising agreement with Scan has come to an end for the time being - it may return in the future, but since it's a commercial matter (and not an editorial one) it's not really anything to do with the writing/forum staff.

From what I understand, this also means Scan will no longer be offering free delivery to regular forum contributors.

 

Does this effect the scan free delivery offer? Because i use that a lot...

EDIT: seems it does...

Looks like i'll be buying stuff elsewhere now

 

hmm, maybe if they'd paid a bit more attention to what people were saying on there......

ah well, i just hope this wont effect the sterling bit-tech service?

 

Ah crap.

 

As above, the commercial and editorial parts of BiT are well separated to try and avoid bias for commercial reasons, so no, it won't make a difference.

 

Thought there was something missing...

 

It's a shame that Scan didn't support their users here, they seemed to focus on the Hexus one a LOT more!

 

I agree with Doug, i knew it was a trial but i think its something worth keeping for both parties.

 

Shame. Guess scan would rather flick the bird to their enthusiast customers.

Only kidding, its a shame though. I think they should at least continue to give us free delivery( over that minimum amount again of course).

 

Ah well thats a shame, i'll just have to go with who ever is cheapest now. I noticed on several occasions when pricing things up that scan was only cheapest with the free p+p.

 

Absolutely no change, just like always

 

Oh balls! I was all set to order the bits for my new build last night, before sitting here for an hour trying to decide between two motherboards. I decided I'd make my mind up some time in the week instead. Now, not only have I missed out on the weekend's special offers but I've missed out on the free delivery too. And this is after seeing the Pound drop.

I am really pissed off with myself right now.

 

That really is a shame, I would have said bit tech was much bigger than Hexus, or atleast for me it is. If not bigger then better. /bumlicking

Though it appears my account is set up for free delivery still...Wonder how long that will take to change, I don't plan on buying any computer stuff for a long while yet so it doesn't effect me much really.

 

Well once I had to phone up to confirm an order and I mentioned free delivery, the guy on the other end had no idea who or what bit-tech was and instead called it the hexus free shipping option. Not that I'm saying call up and say 'hexus' 'free' or 'shipping'

 

as the site isn't affected i cant say im that bothered.

i tend to go ebuyer/overclockers these days anyway as i have found the customer service better (just personal experience)

 

Noooooooo!

 

Oh well, it means that we'll not have as many spammers at least, hexus/av-forums can keep all them!
