Scope (?): Buxr

Hot or Not?

How did you find Buxr?

submitted on October 12, 2008 by MikeG in "Buxr Website / Contests"

We were wondering how people found our little site here, and thought it might be a good topic for discussion.

So how did you find us: Google, another site, through a friend, accidentally typed buxr in your browser? We would love to know.

Through a local radio station. One of the DJs posted it on her webpage (July).

  That is interesting. Can you recall the radio station name or the DJ's website?

Yan, could you put a profanity filter on the site? Swearing is NOT essential to the site.

The word in question still does not qualify as a swear word.

Sleven, are you really Bionicle?

Yes, it is not a swear word if you raise dogs and are talking about dogs. (Not other people)

You know Solstice, Sleven is right.

No actually, if properly used the term "b******" can refer to a child/person whom was born out of wedlock, or ill conceived. Although largely considered a derogatory term by todays society, it does in fact have a perfectly valid use. However, even if derogatory, it does not make the term a swear word. I used it previously for humor purposes, as did JackBauer, but neither of us used it in an directly insulting manner.

PS: Sleven was referencing an entirely different word other than "b******" when speaking of dogs (female dogs specifically), a word which neither of us chose to employ. I think both you and Sleven are confusing the two and their separate meanings.
PPS: Boy is this ever getting way off topic of "How did you find Buxr?"

This should help to settle the language and usage concerns:
Both terms have a fully legitimate usage, and a slang usage.

Apologies to those who would rather not see the secondary word at all.

I dont exactly remember how, and yet I only signed up yesterday. But what I can say is that it wasn't easy. I was on a post from Lifehacker, which led me to a money saving blog, then I followed maybe 3 links from there and somehow found the site. Maybe if someone could encourage Lifehacker or Techcrunch to write a nice review on the site it might get some more hits.

I think we were mentioned in some Lifehacker comments. Getting on Techcrunch is nearly impossible.

Honestly I do not remember exactly how I found it... But I do remember why I did. I was looking for deals to post onto my little blog. Got several good deals from here for a few days then decided to be a member. I think I won some money like my 1st or 2nd day and it hooked me.

Soon the shift of looking for and posting on my blog became looking for and posting here. Until I'm to the point where I only update the blog once every two weeks or so but am here almost daily.

I was just sharing codes online that I'd gotten from employee informants & just ran into BUXR. I shared some codes & suddenly won some money. I was hooked! Then I saw all the HUGE deals here & I couldn't wait to log on. Best deal site on the WWB!

Honestly, I do not remember. I am THINKING that I was googling coupon codes for something and stumbled upon Buxr. I started looking around for a while and finally made an account. Several weeks/months after that I actually started posting deals. When I saw people win money I was REALLY hooked and now I am addicted. Even when my laptop broke I was on my Wii going coming here to see what I was missing!

pretty sure I found the site through lifehacker or consumerist. It was a while ago and I check often now. I even started to submit deals that come through my emails.
