Would anyone be surprised if Woot! just kept on selling the aPen through 3/22?

I wouldn't put it past them, but do you think that Woot! might just keep on selling the aPen Digital Recording Wireless Pen through 3/22?

What? Ah, man, I thought it was the first item of the next woot off. Heck, the blog says it is, right?

They'll probably just keep going with the pens until April Fools Day.

I think they will continue to sell in until their servers are fixed...

Maybe one or more servers "sharted" ?

Yep, I guess they didn't want to keep selling pens after all.

No, but I'm thinking the servers are still having issues...

I'm back to a single woot and when I try to log out or use any link on the main woot page, I get the error page.

Who knows what lies in store for us?

Edit: now I'm getting 503 errors... ala BOC...

Maybe they're just testing the servers to see how well a 24 hour BOC WootOff would fare?

I think they will put up a new item, as soon as they get the issues fixed. Since they are a business that needs to make money, and every one that is going to buy that pen/pad has already bought it. Mucho lost income with sites down.

I don't care, but I might die if I don't see the new shirt for today! I'm going insane. No, wait, I'm already insane. I'm going insaner (apparently a real word since Firefox isn't correcting it). If I can't see the new shirt by the time I go to sleep, I'm going to be one of the insanerist (not a real word, but roll with me here) people ever.

Sorry guys. Obviously, the servers are still getting their lecture ....er... pep talk. I'm thinking they took Woot offline so the new products wouldn't launch and mess things up. They launch automatically.

I'll let you know when I have new info. The other thread (the notice of the maintenance) will be where I post most often though.

I must be really, really tired. I read the title of this post and just started snort, rolling laughing. I can't stop. Is this really that funny?

They can't even sell one more Pen until the site comes back up. So this is more like a 24 hour no-item woot-off.

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.
