None of the local.woots are local to me, so I never go there. I believe the closest one is /dallas, and that's 200 miles away.

Another vote for never, except I'm like 1200 miles away from the closest one.

I didn't even know they had cloned the deals format over to local. It's not really of use to me, either, as the closest is 500 miles away...sometimes it's a hassle to use groupings that are 20 miles away :/

Maybe I would look occasionally if it showed up on the bar at the top, but it seems like the red-headed stepchild of the woot family.

I checked it about a month ago, before I was headed to Seattle for the weekend. None of the current deals were anything useful for me.

Oh wow, I completely forgot about it, especially since there were no deals close-by.

Local Woot is comparable to Apple Maps .... a failure.

Closest city is a few hundred miles from me - if it had some closer deals, I would be all over it.

I can only agree with @rprebel, but add 200 miles to it.

I used it a month or so ago to get opinions on veterinarians as I was traveling to Seattle and my cat needed surgery. Not only was I given the name of a great doc, but I saved a huge amount of money!

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.
