    Thanks. Love these stats.

    And jv got out commented! Was she on holidays?

    • I heard she was spending more time with the kids.

    • Am i the only one who think JV is male?

      • +1

        Yes.

        Fairly confident JV is a female.

    • +1

      Yeah pretty amazed by that!

  • +1

    Love how the number one search query is eneloops :)

    • +1

      That's the alert subscriptions. However ps4 + playstation 4 together would have more subscribers.

      • I reckon quite a few would subscribe to both so as not to miss anything.

  • Lol neil interesting gif :P

    • It's quite hypnotising, isn't it?

      • Stop it, I've got commenting to do :P

  • Nice, thanks.
    Which country is the next bargain site for?

    • Deal Island. It shall be our new headquarters. :)

      I think we better launch, get content etc. before Scott announces.
