Interestingly enough, those most likely to see the deal the quickest are going to do so through the activity feed which automatically updates every 2 minutes: http://dailyfunder.com/activity.php

The activity feed is actually where most users access posts from. They don't typically click through individual subforums looking for new deals.

It might be worth separating out deal bin posts from the activity feed and making a dedicated deal feed. That way people can still hunt for new deals without bombarding the more conversational threads.

I use the activity feed to follow conversations and it's annoying when someone new spams 5-10 deal bin threads.

Just a thought...
