Gone the way of Dealram. I'm not sure why Dealram went away.

Still linked on the front page.

I really miss DealRam and Ramseeker.

It was great in its day but they did their best to drive off customers. It's a shame.

dealmac may be dead, but dealnews is still there. And has advertisers. I hardly think it's going away any time soon. I still see it mentioned in articles where they mention daily deals sites.

the OP meant the forum, not the main sites.

Ad nauseum.

It wasn't a loss for them (the forums) since it grew as an adjunct to their main business and eventually became what they saw as a time consuming
They may have missed a boat by regarding it that way but Larry didn't.

Dealmac was a truly great forum, until it was overrun by plain and simple rudeness: people posting statements that they never would've said face-to-face. It was horrible to witness.
Larry's decision to create two forums was the major key to the success here.
