    If I click a link, like the one in this thread, [H] will show up as the referer. Is this the same as clicking the banner, or not (in terms of helping [H] out by having lots of clicks, so newegg will continue to pay them for advertisement)?

    Free vs FAR?

    What do you guys think... Should FAR (Free After Rebate) items go in "Hot Deals" or "Free Stuff"? Personally I think Free Stuff should be strictly for things that are completely free, don't have to put ANY money up front. We will go with majority opinion.
