Dear crab, triangle, and butt related deal posting teams: Today is my last day at Woot. Next week I join your ranks. Thank you for your past and continued loyalty to Woot. It has been an honor. I have many friends amongst staff and the community and I wish everyone all the best.

-Snapster, aka Matt Rutledge, Founder & CEO, Woot

I never thought I'd see the day. @Snapster's staff badge is really and truly gone. Whoa.

I guess somehow I thought they'd leave it there. There ought to be a special Former CEO badge (like a volunteer staff badge, only just one of a kind). Jeeze, something. It's just too strange to see it.

@jallenza: Woot wasn't Seattle-based until two years ago when it was purchased by Amazon.

I discovered this yesterday for those who haven't seen it. The raw footage of Snapster's "21 Monkey Salute" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Wt5YiQavA

Thanks for the great family of sites Snapster!

@shrdlu: (I replied to that right after you posted it.. apparently I never hit send heh.. I've gotten into a pretty bad habit of that, not sure why.)

I'm with you though, there should be an Ex-CEO badge or at least some kind of "Hey, I founded this place." badge of arbitrary shape and color.. The lone triangle really does seem a little weird (although, the fact that it's *only* purple is kinda funny).
Maybe we could just frame the triangle? Put a fancy straight-black-line boarder around it. An "honorary" black triangle heh

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
