But we never got an answer from Woot staff...
Crossing my fingers in hopeful anticipation!
@underinsomnia: I could have sworn I'd seen a square on the little fella more recently than that ... wonder if it's been going back and forth, though I'm sorry about the dupe either way. I did search for wootbot and staff but as I sorted by recent I must not have looked back far enough.
Glitches happen sometimes too. Just saying.
I kind of look @wootbot's staff square as being like sergeant stripes. He keeps his square as long as he is good. He loses it when he has fights with others, or maybe when he posts "exotic" deals. I just figured that he screwed up and got busted again.
He stepped down to spend more time with his family.
If there are server errors on deals.woot, you can usually count on three glitches to happen:
- staff will lose their badges
- triangles may go colorless
- start dates may be today
Give it some time and all glitches will be righted, DON'T PANIC (written in large, friendly letters).
How is @wootbot going to support @girlwootbot and @kidswootbot? With the economy way it is, he'll have to go to work as a twitterbot.
I think I'm gonna cry. :(
@okham: here's a tissue. How dreadfully sad.
@klozitshoper: blows Thanks. Here's hoping @inkycatz knows what she's talking about.
Wedit.
@okham: Yuuuuuuuppppppppp!!!
I'm everyone's favorite evil nemesis. Whoo-hoo!
@shrdlu: We have fresh bread everyday thanks to you, so you can do no wrong. I, however, can and do.
@okham: He is still getting his regular pay and he is still at work posting good deals!
The Woot humans just need to fix the server glitch for him to get his Staff square back.
Besides, the square gets in his way when he plays XBox Live with his cluster of friends.
As far as the original question, I do not know if @psaux is consuming mind altering substances or not.
@girlwootbot: Hehe...
Then again, it would figure that someone with the initials GWB might be a little foggy such matters. :P
